                 TESORO PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes thereto of
Tesoro Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively,  the  "Company"
or  "Tesoro")  have  been  prepared  by management without audit pursuant to the
rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission ("SEC").
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments that,
in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation  of  results
for  the  periods presented.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted  accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to the SEC's rules  and  regulations.   However,  management
believes  that  the  disclosures  presented  herein  are  adequate  to  make the
information not misleading.   The  accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated
financial  statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

The preparation of  these  condensed  consolidated financial statements required
the use of management's best estimates and judgment  that  affect  the  reported
amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the  financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the periods.   Actual  results  could  differ  from
those  estimates.   The  results  of  operations  for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Earnings per share have  been  restated  for  prior  periods to conform with the
requirements of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS")  No.  128
which  established  standards  for  computing  and  presenting basic and diluted
earnings per share  calculations.   In  addition, certain reclassifications have
been  made  to  information  previously   reported   to   conform   to   current
presentations.

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS

Refining and Marketing

On   May   29,   1998,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  (the  "Hawaii
Acquisition") of all of the outstanding  capital stock of BHP Petroleum Americas
Refining Inc. and BHP Petroleum South Pacific Inc. (together, "BHP Hawaii") from
BHP Hawaii  Inc.  and  BHP  Petroleum  Pacific  Islands  Inc.  ("BHP  Sellers"),
affiliates  of  The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited ("BHP").  The Hawaii
Acquisition included a 95,000-barrel  per  day  refinery (the "Hawaii Refinery")
and 32 retail gasoline stations located in Hawaii.  In addition,  Tesoro  and  a
BHP  affiliate  entered into a two-year crude supply agreement pursuant to which
the BHP affiliate will assist  Tesoro  in  acquiring crude oil feedstock sourced
outside of North America and arrange for the transportation of such crude oil to
the Hawaii Refinery.   Tesoro  paid  $252.2  million  in  cash  for  the  Hawaii
Acquisition,  including  $77.2  million  for  net working capital.  In addition,
Tesoro issued an unsecured,  non-interest  bearing, promissory note ("BHP Note")
for the purchase in the amount of $50 million,  payable  in  five  equal  annual
installments  of $10 million each, beginning in 2009.  The BHP Note provides for
early payment to the extent of one-half of the amount by which earnings from the
acquired assets, before  interest  expense,  income  taxes  and depreciation and
amortization, as specified in the BHP Note, exceed $50 million in  any  calendar
year.

On  August  10,  1998,  the  Company  completed the acquisition (the "Washington
Acquisition" and together with  the  Hawaii  Acquisition, the "Acquisitions") of
all of the  outstanding  stock  of  Shell  Anacortes  Refining  Company  ("Shell
Washington"),  an  affiliate  of  Shell  Oil  Company ("Shell").  The Washington
Acquisition  included  an  108,000-barrel  per  day  refinery  (the  "Washington
Refinery") in Anacortes, Washington and related assets.  The total cash purchase
price for the Washington  Acquisition  was  $237  million plus $39.6 million for
estimated working capital, which is subject to post-closing adjustments.

The Acquisitions were accounted for as purchases  whereby  the  purchase  prices
were  allocated  to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their
respective fair market  values  at  the  date  of acquisition.  The accompanying
financial statements reflect preliminary allocations of the purchase prices,  as
the purchase price allocations have not been finalized.  The Company is awaiting
certain financial information regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
including  final  appraisals  on  property  acquired  and  valuations on certain
assumed liabilities.   Included  in  the  preliminary  allocation  of the Hawaii
Acquisition was an estimated $14.6 million present value of the BHP Note.

                                       6
<PAGE>
The effects of accelerated payments under the BHP Note, if  required,  would  be
accounted  for as additional costs of the acquired assets and amortized over the
remaining life of the assets.

Under purchase accounting, financial results  of BHP Hawaii and Shell Washington
have been included in Tesoro's consolidated financial statements since the  date
of  acquisition.   Had  these  results  been  included in Tesoro's results since
January 1, 1997, and the Refinancing and Offerings completed (as defined in Note
C below), Tesoro's consolidated results for  the nine months ended September 30,
1998 on a pro forma basis would have reflected revenues  of  approximately  $1.7
billion,  earnings before extraordinary item of $26 million ($0.54 per basic and
$0.53 per diluted  share  after  preferred  dividends)  and  net earnings of $22
million ($0.40 per basic and $0.39 per diluted share after preferred dividends).
Tesoro's consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, on a
pro forma basis would have reflected revenues of approximately $2.2 billion  and
net  earnings  of $28 million ($0.59 per basic and diluted share after preferred
dividends).

Exploration and Production

In August 1998, the Company purchased a 50% working interest in the Stiles Ranch
Field, which included 11,400 gross  acres  (5,750 net) located in Wheeler County
in the Texas Panhandle that are  adjacent  to  9,900  gross  acres  (3,750  net)
acquired earlier in the year.  The acquisition price included $8 million in cash
plus  the  conveyance of a 25% working interest in an undeveloped prospect owned
by the Company in South Texas.

In September 1998, the Company purchased  oil  and gas assets for $10.4 million,
which included a 25% to 50% working interest in eight producing wells and 37,500
gross (11,800 net) undeveloped acres in the Morrow gas play located  in  Wheeler
County  in  the  Texas  Panhandle.  Also included in the transaction were 14,400
gross (6,200 net) undeveloped acres  in  prospective  areas of the onshore Texas
Gulf Coast.

Also in 1998, the Company acquired additional interests in  43,300  gross  acres
(29,400  net)  for  $4.2 million, located primarily in the onshore Gulf Coast of
Texas and in Wheeler County in the Texas Panhandle.

NOTE C - LONG-TERM DEBT AND EQUITY

Interim Credit Facility and Senior Credit Facility

In conjunction with closing  the  Hawaii  Acquisition  (see  Note B), on May 29,
1998, Tesoro refinanced substantially all of its then-existing indebtedness (the
"Refinancing").   The  Company  recorded  an   extraordinary   loss   on   early
extinguishment  of  debt  of  approximately  $7.0  million  pretax ($4.6 million
aftertax, or $0.17 per basic and  diluted  share) for the Refinancing during the
second quarter of 1998.

The total amount of funds required by Tesoro to complete the Hawaii  Acquisition
and  the Refinancing, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate
purposes was approximately $432  million,  which  was financed through a secured
credit facility (the "Interim Credit Facility") provided  by  Lehman  Commercial
Paper  Inc.  ("LCPI"),  an  affiliate of Lehman Brothers Inc. The Interim Credit
Facility replaced the Company's  previous  corporate revolving credit agreement.
In the third quarter of 1998, the Company refinanced all  borrowings  under  the
Interim  Credit Facility with net proceeds from the Offerings (as defined below)
and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility (as defined below).

On July 2, 1998, and in  connection  with the Notes Offering (defined below) and
the Washington Acquisition, the Company entered into a  senior  credit  facility
(the "Senior Credit Facility") with a group of lenders led by LCPI in the amount
of  $500  million.   The  Senior  Credit  Facility  is  comprised  of  term loan
facilities aggregating $200 million (two  $100  million tranches, the "Tranche A
Term Loans" and the "Tranche B Term Loan") and a $300 million  revolving  credit
facility  (the  "Revolver").   In  addition,  the  Company  may borrow up to $50
million under the Tranche A Term Loans, in  up to five draws, for a period of up
to six months following July 2, 1998.  The Senior Credit Facility is  guaranteed
by  substantially  all  of the Company's active direct and indirect subsidiaries
(the "Guarantors") and is secured by substantially all of the domestic assets of
the Company and each of the Guarantors.  The Senior Credit Facility requires the
Company to  maintain  specified  levels  of  consolidated  leverage and interest
coverage and contains other  covenants  and  restrictions  customary  in  credit
arrangements of this kind.  The terms of the Senior

                                       7
<PAGE>
Credit  Facility  allow  for  payment  of cash dividends on the Company's Common
Stock not to exceed an aggregate of  $10  million in any year and also allow for
payment of required dividends on its  7.25%  Mandatorily  Convertible  Preferred
Stock.

The  Revolver  and  the  Tranche  A  Term  Loans bear interest, at the Company's
election, at either the Base  Rate  (as  defined  in the Senior Credit Facility)
plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.625% or the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in
the Senior Credit Facility) plus a margin ranging from 1.125%  to  2.125%.   The
Tranche  B  Term  Loan  bears interest, at the Company's election, at either the
Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 0.625% or the Eurodollar Rate plus
a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.125%.  Provisions of the Senior Credit Facility
require prepayments to the Tranche A  Term  Loans  and Tranche B Term Loan, with
customary exceptions, in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds of  certain
incurred  indebtedness, 100% of the net proceeds received by the Company and its
subsidiaries (other than certain net proceeds  reinvested in the business of the
Company or its subsidiaries) from  the  disposition  of  any  assets,  including
proceeds  from  the  sale  of  stock  of any of the Company's subsidiaries and a
percentage of excess cash flow, depending on certain credit statistics.

In  addition  to  funding  the   cash  consideration  of  the  Acquisitions  and
Refinancing, the Senior Credit  Facility  provides  the  Company  with  enhanced
financial  flexibility, such as increased working capital capacity and funds for
general corporate purposes.

Equity Offerings

On May 4,  1998,  the  Company  filed  a  universal shelf registration statement
("Universal Shelf Registration Statement") with the SEC for $600 million of debt
or equity securities  for  acquisitions  or  general  corporate  purposes.   The
Universal  Shelf Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on May
14, 1998.  The Company  offered  Premium  Income  Equity Securities ("PIES") and
Common Stock (collectively, the "Equity Offerings")  from  the  Universal  Shelf
Registration Statement to provide partial funding for the Acquisitions discussed
in  Note  B.  On  July  1, 1998, the Company issued 9,000,000 PIES, representing
fractional interests in  the  Company's  7.25% Mandatorily Convertible Preferred
Stock, with gross proceeds of approximately $143.4 million, and 5,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, with gross proceeds of $79.7 million.   Upon  exercise  of  the
over-allotment  options  granted to the underwriters of the Equity Offerings, on
July 8, 1998, the Company  issued  1,350,000  PIES  with gross proceeds of $21.5
million and 750,000 shares of Common Stock with gross proceeds of $11.9 million.
Holders of PIES are  entitled  to  receive  a  cash  dividend.   The  PIES  will
automatically  convert  into  shares  of Common Stock on July 1, 2001, at a rate
based upon a formula dependent  upon  the  market price of Common Stock.  Before
July 1, 2001, each PIES is convertible, at the option  of  the  holder  thereof,
into 0.8455 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain events.

Notes Offering

On  July  2,  1998,  concurrently  with  the  syndication  of  the Senior Credit
Facility, the Company  issued  $300  million  aggregate  principal  amount of 9%
Senior Subordinated Notes ("Senior Subordinated Notes")  due  2008  (the  "Notes
Offering",  and  together  with the Equity Offerings, the "Offerings") through a
private offering eligible for Rule  144A.  The  Senior Subordinated Notes have a
ten-year maturity without sinking fund requirements and are subject to  optional
redemption by the Company after five years at declining premiums.  The indenture
(the  "Indenture")  for  the  Senior  Subordinated  Notes contains covenants and
restrictions which are customary  for  notes  of  this nature.  The restrictions
under the Indenture are  less  restrictive  than  those  in  the  Senior  Credit
Facility.   To  the extent the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined
in the Indenture,  allows  for  the  incurrence  of additional indebtedness, the
Company will be allowed to pay cash dividends on Common Stock.

On August 7, 1998, a Registration Statement was declared effective  by  the  SEC
whereby  the  Company  offered, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the related  Prospectus,  to  exchange  $1,000  principal amount of its
registered 9% Senior Subordinated  Notes  due  2008,  Series  B  (the  "Exchange
Notes"),  for  each  $1,000 principal amount of its unregistered and outstanding
Senior Subordinated  Notes  due  2008.   The  terms  of  the  Exchange Notes are
identical in all material respects to  the  terms  of  the  Senior  Subordinated
Notes,  except  as  described  in  the  Prospectus.   The  offer to exchange was
completed in September 1998.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, together with the net proceeds from
the Offerings, were used  to  fund  the  cash  purchase  price of the Washington
Acquisition, to refinance the Interim Credit Facility (a portion  of  which  was
used  to  finance  the  Hawaii  Acquisition),  to  pay certain fees and expenses
related to these  transactions  and  for  general  corporate purposes (including
working capital requirements and capital expenditures).

Other

In connection with filing the Universal  Shelf  Registration  Statement  in  May
1998,  the  Company's  Board of Directors approved terminating the repurchase of
Tesoro's Common Stock under a repurchase program that was initiated in May 1997.

At the 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders  held on July 29, 1998, the Company's
shareholders approved,  among  other  proposals,  to  (i)  amend  the  Company's
Restated  Certificate  of  Incorporation  to  increase  the number of authorized
shares of the Company's  Common  Stock  from  50,000,000 to 100,000,000 and (ii)
increase the number of shares which can be granted under the  Company's  Amended
and Restated Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan from 2,650,000 to 4,250,000.

NOTE D - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The  Company  has adopted SFAS No. 131 which establishes standards for reporting
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires
that selected information  be  included  in  interim financial reports.  Segment
operating  profit  includes  those  revenues  and  expenses  that  are  directly
attributable to management of the respective segment.  For the periods presented
below, revenues were generated from sales to external customers and  there  were
no  intersegment  revenues.   Segment  information for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is as follows (in millions):

NOTE E - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental

The Company is subject to extensive  federal, state and local environmental laws
and regulations.  These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of
materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate
the environmental effects of the disposal or release of  petroleum  or  chemical
substances   at   various   sites   or  install  additional  controls  or  other
modifications or changes in use  for  certain  emission sources.  The Company is
currently involved with a waste disposal site near Abbeville, Louisiana and  the
Casmalia  Disposal  Site  in  Santa Barbara County, California.  The Company has
been named a potentially responsible  party  ("PRP") under Federal Superfund law
at both sites.  Although this law might impose joint and several liability  upon
each  party  at  the  sites,  the  extent  of  the Company's allocated financial
contributions for cleanup is expected to be  de minimis based upon the number of
companies, volumes of waste involved and total estimated  costs  to  close  each
site.   The  Company  is  currently  involved in settlement discussions with the
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and other PRPs

                                       10
<PAGE>
pertaining  to  the  Abbeville  Site.   The  Company  believes,  based  on these
discussions, that its liability will not exceed $25,000.  The  Company  believes
that its liability at the Casmalia Site is de minimus based on the EPA's October
14,  1998  notification.  The Company is also involved in remedial responses and
has incurred cleanup  expenditures  associated  with  environmental matters at a
number of sites, including certain of its current and prior-owned properties.

At September 30, 1998, the Company's accruals for environmental expenses totaled
$11.4  million.   Based  on  currently  available  information,  including   the
participation  of  other  parties  or  former owners in remediation actions, the
Company believes these accruals to be adequate.

In connection with the Hawaii Acquisition  discussed  in Note B, the BHP Sellers
and the Company have executed a separate environmental  agreement,  whereby  the
BHP  Sellers have indemnified the Company for environmental costs arising out of
conditions which  existed  at  or  prior  to  closing.   This indemnification is
subject to a maximum limit of $9.5 million and expires after  a  period  of  ten
years.   Under  the  environmental  agreement,  the  first $5.0 million of these
liabilities will be the  responsibility  of  the  BHP  Sellers and the next $6.0
million will be shared on the basis of 75% by the BHP Sellers  and  25%  by  the
Company.   Certain environmental claims arising out of prior operations will not
be subject to the $9.5 million limit or the ten-year time limit.

Under the agreement related to  the  Washington Acquisition discussed in Note B,
Shell Refining Holding Company, a subsidiary  of  Shell  (the  "Shell  Seller"),
generally  has  agreed to indemnify the Company for environmental liabilities at
the Washington Refinery arising out of  conditions  which existed at or prior to
the closing date and identified by the Company prior to  August  1,  2001.   The
Company is responsible for environmental costs up to the first $0.5 million each
year,  after which the Shell Seller will be responsible for annual environmental
costs up to $1.0 million.  Annual costs greater than $1.0 million will be shared
on a 50%/50% basis  between  the  Company  and  the  Shell Seller, subject to an
aggregate maximum of $5.0 million and a ten-year term.

In addition to environmental expenses, the  Company  anticipates  it  will  make
capital  improvements  totaling approximately $10 million in 1998 and $7 million
in 1999 to comply with environmental  laws and regulations affecting its Alaska,
Hawaii, Pacific Northwest and  Gulf  Coast  operations.   In  addition,  capital
expenditures  for  alternate  secondary containment systems for existing storage
tank facilities in Alaska are estimated to  be $2 million in 1998 and $2 million
in 1999, with a remaining $ 5 million to be spent by the end of year 2002.

Conditions that require additional expenditures may exist  for  various  Company
sites,  including, but not limited to, the Company's refineries, retail stations
(current  and  closed  locations)  and  petroleum  product  terminals,  and  for
compliance with the Clean Air Act. The amount of such future expenditures cannot
currently be determined by the Company.

For further information regarding  environmental  matters, see Legal Proceedings
in Part II, Item 1, included herein.

Other

The Company's results for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1998  included
receipt totaling approximately $21 million pretax ($14 million aftertax) from an
operator  in the Bob West Field, representing funds that are no longer needed as
a contingency reserve for litigation.

On October 1, 1998, the Attorney General for the State of Hawaii filed a lawsuit
in the U.S. District  Court  for  the  District  of  Hawaii against thirteen oil
companies, including Tesoro Petroleum Corporation and Tesoro Hawaii Corporation,
alleging anti-competitive marketing practices in violation of Federal and  State
anti-trust  laws.   The  complaint  seeks injunctive relief and compensatory and
treble damages and civil penalties against all defendants in an amount in excess
of  $500  million.   The  Company  believes  that  it  has  not  engaged  in any
anti-competitive activities and that this proceeding is subject to the indemnity
provision of the Stock Sale Agreement between the BHP Sellers  and  the  Company
which provides for indemnification in excess of $2 million and not to exceed $65
million.  The Company will defend this litigation vigorously.

NOTE F - LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

1996 Incentive Compensation Strategy

In  June  1996,  the Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved a special
incentive compensation strategy in  order  to  encourage a longer-term focus for
all employees to  perform  at  an  outstanding  level.   The  strategy  provided
eligible  employees  with  incentives  to  achieve a significant increase in the
market price of the  Company's  Common  Stock.   Under the strategy, awards were
earned when the market price of the Company's Common Stock  reached  an  average
price per share of $20 or higher over 20 consecutive trading days after June 30,
1997  and  before  December  31, 1998 (the "Performance Target").  In connection
with this strategy, non-executive employees earned  cash bonuses equal to 25% of
their individual payroll amounts for the previous  twelve  complete  months  and
certain  executives  were  granted,  from  the  Company's  Amended  and Restated
Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan ("Incentive  Plan"), a total of 340,000 stock
options at an exercise price of $11.375 per share, the  fair  market  value  (as
defined  in  the Incentive Plan) of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the
date of grant, and  350,000  shares  of  restricted  Common  Stock, all of which
vested upon achieving the Performance Target.

On May 12, 1998, the Performance Target was achieved which resulted in a  pretax
charge  of  approximately  $20  million  ($10  million related to the vesting of
restricted stock awards and stock options and $10 million in cash) in the second
quarter of 1998.  The pretax  charge  included approximately $8 million in other
operating costs and expenses and approximately $12 million in other expense.  On
an after tax basis, the  charge  was  approximately  $13  million,  representing
approximately  5%  of  the  total  aggregate increase in shareholder value since
approval of the special incentive strategy in 1996.

1998 Performance Incentive Compensation Plan

In October 1998, the Company's Board  of Directors unanimously approved the 1998
Performance Incentive Compensation  Plan  (the  "Performance  Plan"),  which  is
intended  to  advance  the best interests of the Company and its stockholders by
directly targeting Company performance  to  align  with the ninetieth percentile
historical stock-price growth rate for the Company's peer group.   In  addition,
the  Performance  Plan  will  provide  the  Company's  employees with additional
compensation, contingent upon  achievement  of  the targeted objectives, thereby
encouraging  them  to  continue  in  the  employ  of  the  Company.   Under  the
Performance Plan, targeted objectives are comprised of the fair market value  of
the  Company's  Common  Stock  equaling or exceeding an average of $35 per share
(the "First Performance  Target")  and  $45  per  share (the "Second Performance
Target") on any 20 consecutive  trading  days  during  a  period  commencing  on
October  1, 1998 and ending on the earlier of September 30, 2002, or the date on
which the Second Performance Target is achieved (the "Performance Period").  The
Performance  Plan  has  several  tiers  of  awards,  with  the  award  generally
determined by job level.   Most  eligible  employees  have contingent cash bonus
opportunities of 25% of their annual "basic compensation"  (as  defined  in  the
Performance Plan) and three executive officers have contingent awards of phantom
stock.   Upon  achievement  of  the  First Performance Target, one-fourth of the
contingent awards will be  earned,  with  payout  deferred  until the end of the
Performance Period.  The remaining 75% will be earned only upon  achievement  of
the  Second  Performance  Target,  with  payout  occurring  30  days thereafter.
Employees will need to have at  least  one year of regular, full-time service at
the time the Performance Period ends in order to be eligible for a payment.  The
Company estimates that it will incur aftertax costs of approximately 1%  of  the
total aggregate increase in shareholder value if the First Performance Target is
reached  and  will  incur  an  additional  2%  aftertax  charge  if  the  Second
Performance Target is reached.

NOTE G - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share have been calculated  in accordance with SFAS No. 128.  Basic
earnings per share is determined by dividing net earnings applicable  to  common
stock  by  the  weighted  average number of common shares outstanding during the
period.  The Company's  calculation  of  diluted  earnings  per share takes into
account the effect of potentially dilutive stock options outstanding during  the
period.  The assumed conversion of preferred stock to common stock for the three
months  and  nine  months  ended September 30, 1998 (approximately 8,750,000 and
2,917,000  shares,  respectively)  produced  an  anti-dilutive  result  and,  in
accordance with SFAS No.  128,  was  not  included  in the dilutive calculation.
Earnings per share calculations for the  three  months  and  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1998  and 1997 are presented below (in millions except per share
amounts):

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

Those statements  in  the  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  that are not
historical in nature  should  be  deemed  forward-looking  statements  that  are
inherently   uncertain.    See  "Forward-Looking  Statements"  on  page  26  for
discussion of the factors which could  cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected in such statements.

GENERAL

The Company's strategy is  to  (i)  maximize  return  on  capital  employed  and
increase  the  competitiveness  of each of its business units by reducing costs,
increasing operating efficiencies and optimizing existing assets and (ii) expand
its overall market presence through a combination of internal growth initiatives
and selective acquisitions  which  are  both  accretive  to earnings and provide
significant  operational  synergies.   The  Company  plans  to  further  improve
profitability in the Refining and  Marketing  segment  by  enhancing  processing
capabilities,   strengthening   marketing  channels  and  improving  supply  and
transportation  functions.   In  the  Exploration  and  Production  segment, the
strategy includes evaluating ways in which the Company can continue to diversify
its oil and gas reserve base through both acquisitions and  the  drill  bit  and
enhanced  technical  capabilities.  The Company has made significant progress in
diversifying its U.S. operations to areas other  than the Bob West Field and has
taken steps to begin  serving  emerging  markets  in  South  America.   Improved
profitability  has  positioned the Marine Services segment to participate in the
consolidation of the industry by  pursuing  opportunities for expansion, as well
as optimizing existing operations.

Tesoro acquired the refining and marketing assets of two subsidiaries of BHP  in
May  1998  and acquired a refinery and related assets from a subsidiary of Shell
in August 1998.  The  Acquisitions  are  expected  to triple Tesoro's historical
annual revenues and  significantly  increase  the  scope  of  its  refining  and
marketing  operations.  Tesoro expects that the results of the Acquisitions will
be accretive to earnings and cash  flows  beginning  in 1999.  The impact of the
Acquisitions on earnings and cash flows may be neutral in 1998 primarily due  to
the  mid-year timing of the Acquisitions and a planned maintenance turnaround at
the Hawaii Refinery in the summer of  1998.  The Company believes that there are
significant cost saving  and  revenue  enhancement  opportunities  available  by
integrating  the  Hawaii  Refinery  and  Washington  Refinery  with  its Alaskan
operations and has currently  identified  $25  million  of potential annual cost
saving and revenue enhancing synergies.  Management expects to begin to  realize
such  synergies  in the fourth quarter of 1998 with the full annual impact to be
achieved in the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.  The Company will continue
to  pursue  other  opportunities   that  are  operationally  and  geographically
complementary with its asset base.

The Company operates in an environment where its  results  and  cash  flows  are
sensitive  to  volatile  changes  in energy prices.  Major shifts in the cost of
crude oil used for refinery  feedstocks  and  the  price of refined products can
result in a change in margin from the  Refining  and  Marketing  operations,  as
prices  received  for  refined products may or may not keep pace with changes in
crude oil  costs.   These  energy  prices,  together  with  volume  levels, also
determine the carrying value of crude oil and refined  product  inventory.   The
Company   uses   the  last-in,  first-out  ("LIFO")  method  of  accounting  for
inventories of crude oil and U.S. wholesale refined products in its Refining and
Marketing segment.  This method results  in  inventory carrying amounts that are
less likely to represent current values and in costs of sales which more closely
represent current costs.  Similarly, changes in natural gas, condensate and  oil
prices  impact  revenues  and the present value of estimated future net revenues
and cash flows from  the  Company's  Exploration and Production operations.  The
Company may increase or decrease its  natural  gas  production  in  response  to
market  conditions.   The carrying value of oil and gas assets may be subject to
noncash write-downs based on changes in natural gas prices and other determining
factors.  Changes in crude oil and  natural  gas prices also influence the level
of drilling activity in the Gulf  of  Mexico.   The  Company's  Marine  Services
operation,  whose  customers  include  offshore drilling contractors and related
industries, could be  impacted  by  significant  fluctuations  in  crude oil and
natural gas prices.  The Company's Marine Services segment  uses  the  first-in,
first-out  ("FIFO")  method  of accounting for inventories of fuels.  Changes in
fuel prices can significantly impact inventory  valuations and costs of sales in
this segment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE  MONTHS  AND  NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

SUMMARY

Tesoro's net earnings of $7.8 million  for  the three months ended September 30,
1998 ("1998 Quarter") compare with net earnings of $8.0 million  for  the  three
months  ended  September  30, 1997 ("1997 Quarter").  Net earnings per share for
the 1998 Quarter  were  $0.15  (basic  and  diluted), after preferred dividends,
compared to $0.30 (basic and diluted) in the 1997 Quarter.   The  Company's  net
earnings   remained  relatively  unchanged  from  quarter  to  quarter.   Higher
downstream profits from the Company's refining and marketing and marine services
operations, together with increased production in its Exploration and Production
segment, were substantially offset by  the  impact of lower Bolivian natural gas
prices and increased interest and financing costs.  On a per  share  basis,  the
Company's  net  earnings  were  reduced  by dividends on preferred stock and the
impact of issuing additional shares of Common Stock during the quarter.

For the year-to-date period,  net  earnings  of  $20.1  million ($0.60 per basic
share, $0.59 per diluted share) for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1998
("1998  Period")  compare  with  net  earnings of $23.8 million ($0.90 per basic
share, $0.88 per diluted share)  for  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1997
("1997 Period").  Significant  items  which  affect  the  comparability  between
results for 1998 and 1997 are highlighted in the table below (in millions except
per share amounts):

</TABLE>

For  the  year-to-date  periods, excluding significant items, net earnings would
have been $20.8 million ($0.73 per basic share, $0.72 per diluted share) for the
1998 Period compared to $21.0 million  ($0.79 per basic share, $0.78 per diluted
share) for the 1997 Period.  The decrease in net earnings in the 1998 Period was
primarily due to higher interest and financing costs  and  income  taxes,  which
were substantially offset by increased refining and marketing results.

A  discussion  and analysis of the factors contributing to the Company's results
of operations are presented below.

REFINING AND MARKETING

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997.  Segment operating profit for the  Company's  Refining  and  Marketing
operations  was  $19.1 million in the 1998 Quarter, an increase of $11.7 million
from segment  operating  profit  of  $7.4  million  in  the  1997  Quarter.  The
improvement in results from Refining and Marketing was primarily due  to  higher
throughput  volumes,  primarily  stemming  from its recently acquired operations
(see Note  B  of  Notes  to  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial Statements), and
improved refined product yields in Alaska.  Higher sales  within  the  segment's
Alaska,   Hawaii   and  Northwest  markets  also  contributed  to  the  improved
profitability.

The  1998  Quarter  benefited from an expansion completed in October 1997 of the
Company's hydrocracker unit at its  Alaska  refinery, which increased the unit's
capacity by approximately 25% and enables the Company to produce more jet  fuel,
a  product  in  short supply in Alaska.  The expansion began to favorably impact
this segment's results in the fourth quarter of 1997.  Financial results for the
acquired operations have  been  included  since  the  dates of acquisition.  The
Hawaii Acquisition was completed on May 29, 1998 and the Washington  Acquisition
on  August  10,  1998.   The  acquired  operations contributed positively to the
segment's results for the  1998  Quarter,  but  are expected, after interest and
financing costs, to have a neutral impact for the year.

During the 1998 Quarter, throughput at the Alaska refinery increased  by  15,400
barrels  per  day, a 36% increase over the 1997 Quarter, which included a 30-day
maintenance turnaround.   Throughput  averaged  80,700  barrels  per  day at the
Hawaii Refinery and 106,600 barrels per day at the  Washington  Refinery  during
the 1998 Quarter.  The improved Alaska product slate, together with results from
the  acquired operations, contributed to a total refined product gross margin of
$4.63 per barrel in the 1998  Quarter  compared  to $4.61 per barrel in the 1997
Quarter.  Total product sales volumes tripled  to 227,000 barrels per day due to
the Acquisitions and higher throughput volumes.

Revenues  from  sales  of  refined  products  increased  during the 1998 Quarter
primarily due to the higher sales  and throughput volumes, partially offset by a
reduction in average sales prices.  Merchandise revenues increased in  the  1998
Quarter due to the Hawaii Acquisition, which included 32 retail stations.  Other
revenues included crude oil resales of $6.1 million in the 1998 Quarter compared
with  $12.3  million  in  the 1997 Quarter.  The increase in costs of sales also
reflected the higher  volumes  associated  with  the  Acquisitions and marketing
efforts in Alaska, partly  offset  by  lower  feedstock  prices.   Margins  from
non-refinery  activities  increased  to  $4.3  million  in  the 1998 Quarter due
primarily to higher merchandise  sales.   Operating expenses and other increased
during the 1998 Quarter primarily due to the Acquisitions.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER
30,  1997.   Segment operating profit from the Refining and Marketing operations
totaled $45.6 million in the 1998  Period  compared to $16.3 million in the 1997
Period.  As discussed above, this increase was  due  to  a  number  of  factors,
including  higher  throughput volumes from the Acquisitions and improved refined
product yields in Alaska.

During the 1998 Period, throughput  at  the  Alaska refinery increased by 10,000
barrels per day, a 21% increase over the 1997 Period.  Production of jet fuel at
this refinery increased by approximately 35% over the 1997  Period  due  to  the
hydrocracker  expansion  completed  in  October  1997  together  with the higher
throughput levels and an improved feedstock slate.  The improved refined product
yield, together with results from  the acquired operations, contributed to sales
volumes of 132,100 barrels per day and a refined product gross margin  of  $5.07
per  barrel  in  the  1998  Period.   Refined product gross margin was $4.67 per
barrel in the 1997 Period.

Revenues from sales of refined products  in the Company's Refining and Marketing
segment increased during the 1998  Period  due  to  the  Acquisitions  partially
offset  by  lower sales prices.  Other revenues included $29.9 million and $23.0
million in crude oil resales in  the  1998 Period and 1997 Period, respectively.
The increase in cost of sales was primarily due  to  higher  volumes  associated
with  the  Acquisitions  partly  offset  by  lower  feedstock costs.  Margins on
non-refinery activities  increased  to  $15.0  million  in  the  1998  Period as
compared to $9.5 million in the 1997 Period due primarily to higher  merchandise
sales.   Operating  expenses  and  other  were  higher  in  the  1998 Period due
primarily to the Acquisitions.

The Company's initiatives to enhance its product slate  and  sell  more  product
within  core  markets  have  improved the fundamental earnings potential of this
segment.   Certain  of  these  initiatives,  such  as  the  Alaska  hydrocracker
expansion and improved feedstock slate, were  completed in the fourth quarter of
1997.  Management expects that future quarters will continue to benefit from the
impact of these initiatives.  In addition, Tesoro expects that  the  results  of
the Acquisitions will be accretive to earnings and cash flows beginning in 1999.
The  revenues  and  scope  of  the  Refining  and  Marketing  segment  have been
significantly increased with the Acquisitions (see  Note B of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial  Statements).   Future  profitability  of  this  segment,
however,  will  continue  to be influenced by market conditions, particularly as
these conditions influence costs of  crude  oil  relative to prices received for
sales of refined products, and other additional  factors  that  are  beyond  the
control of the Company.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

U.S.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997.  Segment  operating  profit  from  the  Company's U.S. exploration and
production operations was $5.3 million in the 1998 Quarter  compared  with  $6.8
million  in the 1997 Quarter.  The decline in operating profit was primarily due
to higher depletion expenses  associated  with exploration activities and higher
production volumes.  The Company's U.S. production volumes increased 6% to  85.0
million cubic feet equivalents ("Mmcfe") per day in the 1998 Quarter compared to
80.2  Mmcfe  per day in the 1997 Quarter.  The Company's U.S. production outside
of the Bob West Field  rose  to  54%  of  total  U.S. production during the 1998
Quarter, as compared to 23% in the  1997  Quarter.   This  increase  was  mainly
attributable to the development of fields discovered in the Val Verde Basin, the
Upper Wilcox Trend and the  Frio/Vicksburg  Trend.  During the 1998 Quarter, the
Company acquired interests in the Texas Panhandle that are expected to  increase
the Company's net production in the 1998 fourth quarter by approximately 7 Mmcfe
per day.

Gross  operating  revenues  from the Company's U.S. operations increased by $0.6
million due to the higher  production,  while  natural gas prices remained flat.
Production costs per Mcfe increased from $0.21 to $0.30, primarily due to  lease
operating  expenses.   In the Bob West Field, aggregate lease operating expenses
remained relatively flat, while field  production  declined by 22 Mmcfe per day,
resulting in an increase in per unit lease  operating  expenses  from  $0.19  to
$0.26 per Mcfe.  Lease operating expenses at other fields remained flat at $0.27
per  Mcfe,  while  production  increased  by  27  Mmcfe  per day.  Depreciation,
depletion and amortization increased by  $1.5  million,  or 21%, due to a higher
depletion rate and increased volumes.  The higher depletion rate was the  result
of  the  Company's  emphasis on exploration.  Exploration costs represented more
than half of total 1998 drilling costs.

From time to time, the Company  enters into commodity price agreements to reduce
the risk caused by fluctuation in the prices of natural gas in the spot  market.
During  the  1998  Quarter, the Company used such agreements to set the price of
approximately 20% of the natural gas production  that it sold in the spot market
and recognized a gain of $0.7 million  ($0.09 per  Mcf)  related to  these price
agreements.   The  Company  did  not  have any such transactions during the 1997
Quarter.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,  1998  COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997.  Segment operating profit of $41.7 million  from  the  Company's  U.S.
exploration  and  production  operations  in  the  1998 Period compares to $26.3
million in the 1997 Period.  Comparability between these periods was impacted by
certain significant items.  The  1997  Period included retroactive severance tax
refunds of $1.8 million, while the 1998 Period included income from  receipt  of
approximately $21.3 million from an operator in the Bob West Field, representing
funds  that  were  no  longer  needed  as  a contingency reserve for litigation.
Excluding  these  significant  items,  segment  operating  profit  decreased  by
approximately $4.1 million primarily due to  lower natural gas prices and higher
depreciation, depletion and amortization and operating expenses.

Gross operating revenues from the Company's U.S. operations  increased  by  $1.0
million as higher production volumes were generally offset by lower prices.  The
Company's  U.S.  production  averaged  93.2 Mmcfe per day in the 1998 Period, an
increase of 6.2 Mmcfe per  day  over  the  1997  Period.  Prices realized by the
Company on its spot natural gas production declined to $2.03 per Mcf in the 1998
Period from $2.08 per Mcf in the 1997 Period.  Lease operating  expenses,  which
increased from $4.4 million to $5.9 million, remained relatively flat in the Bob
West  Field  but were higher in other fields by $1.7 million.  Production in the
Bob West Field declined by 26 Mmcfe per day resulting in an increase in per unit
lease operating expenses from  $0.15  to  $0.23  per  Mcfe.  Production at other
fields increased by 32 Mmcfe per day resulting in a decrease in per  unit  lease
operating  expenses  from  $0.32 to $0.24 per Mcfe.  Depreciation, depletion and
amortization increased by $4.5 million, or  20%,  due to a higher depletion rate
and increased volumes.  The higher depletion rate was the  result  of  increased
exploration activities.

During the 1998 and 1997 Periods, the Company used commodity price agreements to
set  the  price  of  approximately 12% and 11%, respectively, of the natural gas
production that it sold in the  spot  market.  During the 1998 and 1997 Periods,
the Company realized a gain of $1.0 million ($0.03 per Mcf) and a loss  of  $1.6
million ($0.06 per Mcf), respectively, from these price agreements.

BOLIVIA

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30,  1997.   Segment  operating  profit  from  the Company's Bolivian operations
decreased $1.4 million from $2.5 million in  the 1997 Quarter to $1.1 million in
the 1998 Quarter.  This decrease in segment operating profit was  primarily  due
to  lower  natural  gas  and oil prices.  Bolivian natural gas prices, which are
contractually tied to posted New York  fuel  oil prices, fell 33% from $1.13 per
Mcf in the 1997 Quarter  to  $0.76  per  Mcf  in  the  1998  Quarter.   However,
production volumes increased from 31.4 Mmcfe per day to 35.8 Mmcfe per day .

NINE  MONTHS  ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1997.   Segment  operating  profit  from  the  Company's Bolivian operations
decreased $4.1 million from $7.6 million in the 1997 Period to $3.5  million  in
the  1998 Period.  The 1997 Period included other income of $2.2 million related
to the collection  of  the  receivable  discussed  above.   Excluding this other
income, segment operating profit for the 1998 Period decreased by  $1.9  million
from the 1997 Period primarily due to the decline in natural gas prices together
with a charge for prior period taxes.  Bolivian natural gas prices fell 30% from
$1.20  per  Mcf  in  the  1997  Period  to  $0.84 per Mcf in the 1998 Period and
condensate prices fell from  $16.23  to  $12.83 per barrel.  However, production
volumes increased from 21.6 Mmcfe per day to 31.4 Mmcfe per day resulting in  an
overall revenue increase of $0.4 million.  The Company's share of net production
increased in the 1998 Period as a result of the July 1997  buyout  of  interests
held  by  its  former  joint  venture  participant, and the remaining production
difference resulted in  part  from  production  constraints  in  the 1997 Period
arising from repairs to a non-Company-owned pipeline that  transports  gas  from
Bolivia  to Argentina.  The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization
was due to the higher production volumes and a higher depletion rate.

A lack of market access has constrained natural gas production in Bolivia.   The
Company  believes  that  the completion of a 1,900-mile pipeline from Bolivia to
Brazil will provide access to  larger gas-consuming markets.  Upon completion of
this pipeline,  the  Company  will  face  intense  competition  from  major  and
independent  natural  gas  companies  operating  in  Bolivia  for a share of the
contractual volumes to  be  exported  to  Brazil.   It  is anticipated that each
producer's share of the contractual volumes will be allocated by YPFB  according
to  a number of factors, including the producer's reserve volumes and production
capacity.  Although the Company expects gas  deliveries on the pipeline to begin
in 1999, there can be no assurance that the pipeline will  be  operational  next
year.   With  the  exception  of  the  volumes currently under contract with the
Bolivian government, the Company cannot  be  assured of the amount of additional
volumes that will be exported to Brazil upon completion of the pipeline.

The productive capacity of the Company's wells  in  Bolivia,  including  shut-in
wells,  is  approximately  120  Mmcf  per day gross.  At September 30, 1998, the
Company had four wells in progress  as  part  of a five-well program designed to
increase proved reserves.  In addition, an affiliate of Total, S.A. has spud the
first well pursuant to  a  farmout  agreement  covering  the  Company's  acreage
located in the Andes mountains.

</TABLE>


Gross operating revenues in the Marine Services segment declined by $4.0 million
and  $7.9  million  during  the  1998  Quarter  and  1998  Period, respectively,
primarily due to lower  fuel  sales  prices,  partially offset by increased fuel
volumes.  The decreases in costs of sales also reflected the lower fuel  prices.
Despite lower rig activity in the Gulf of Mexico, total segment operating profit
improved  by  $0.4 million and $2.4 million in the 1998 Quarter and 1998 Period,
respectively, largely due to the higher fuel volumes and margins.

The Marine Services segment's business  is  largely dependent upon the volume of
oil and gas drilling, workover, construction and seismic activity in the Gulf of
Mexico.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million and  $2.1  million
during the 1998 Quarter and 1998 Period, respectively.  These increases included
higher  employee costs and professional fees due in part to the installation and
implementation of an integrated software system.

INTEREST AND FINANCING COSTS

Interest and financing costs increased by  $9.0 million and $14.9 million during
the 1998 Quarter and 1998 Period, respectively.  These increases were  primarily
due  to higher borrowings under the Company's credit arrangements, including the
Senior Credit Facility and Senior  Subordinated  Notes, to fund the Acquisitions
and the Refinancing (see Notes B  and  C  of  Notes  to  Condensed  Consolidated
Financial  Statements)  and to fund net working capital requirements and capital
expenditures.

OTHER OPERATING COSTS AND OTHER EXPENSES

Other operating costs and other expense in  the 1998 Period included a charge of
$19.9 million for the special incentive compensation  strategy,  of  which  $7.9
million related to operating segment employees (see Note F of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).

INCOME TAX PROVISION

The  income tax provision increased by $0.7 million and $4.8 million in the 1998
Quarter and 1998 Period, respectively.   The  effective  tax rate rose to 44% in
the 1998 Period from 38% in the 1997 Period primarily  due  to  higher  Bolivian
taxes and higher consolidated taxable earnings which reduced available state net
operating loss carryforwards.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

The  Company's  primary  sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents,
internal cash generation and  external  financing.   The  Company operates in an
environment where its liquidity and capital resources are impacted by changes in
the supply of and demand for  crude  oil,  natural  gas  and  refined  petroleum
products,  market  uncertainty and a variety of additional risks that are beyond
the  control  of  the  Company.  These risks include, among others, the level of
consumer product demand,  weather  conditions,  the  proximity  of the Company's
natural  gas  reserves  to  pipelines,  the  capacities   of   such   pipelines,
fluctuations  in  seasonal  demand,  governmental  regulations,  the  price  and
availability  of  alternative  fuels and overall market and economic conditions.
The Company's future capital expenditures as well as borrowings under its credit
arrangements and other sources of capital will be affected by these conditions.

CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS AND CAPITALIZATION

Refinancing and Offerings

In conjunction with closing the Hawaii Acquisition,  on  May  29,  1998,  Tesoro
completed  a  Refinancing  of  all of its then-existing indebtedness.  The total
amount of  funds  required  by  Tesoro  on  that  date  to  complete  the Hawaii
Acquisition and the Refinancing, to  pay  related  fees  and  expenses  and  for
general  corporate  purposes  was approximately $432 million, which was financed
through the Interim Credit Facility.   In  July 1998, the Company refinanced all
borrowings under  the  Interim  Credit  Facility  with  net  proceeds  from  the
Offerings and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.

On  July  2,  1998, and in connection with the Notes Offering and the Washington
Acquisition, the Company entered into  the  Senior Credit Facility in the amount
of $500  million.   In  addition  to  funding  the  cash  consideration  of  the
Acquisitions  and  Refinancing,  the Senior Credit Facility provides the Company
with enhanced financial flexibility, such  as increased working capital capacity
and funds for  general  corporate  purposes,  including  the  projected  capital
expenditures for 1998.

On  May 4, 1998, the Company filed a Universal Shelf Registration Statement with
the SEC for  $600  million  of  debt  or  equity  securities for acquisitions or
general corporate purposes.  The  Universal  Shelf  Registration  Statement  was
declared  effective  by  the  SEC on May 14, 1998.  The Company offered PIES and
Common Stock from the Universal  Shelf Registration Statement to provide partial
funding for the Acquisitions.  On July 1, 1998,  the  Company  issued  9,000,000
PIES,  representing  fractional  interests  in  the  Company's 7.25% Mandatorily
Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  with  gross  proceeds  of  approximately  $143.4
million, and 5,000,000 shares  of  Common  Stock,  with  gross proceeds of $79.7
million. Upon exercise of the over-allotment options granted to the underwriters
of the Equity Offerings, on July 8, 1998, the Company issued 1,350,000 PIES with
gross proceeds of $21.5 million and 750,000 shares of Common  Stock  with  gross
proceeds  of  $11.9  million.   Holders  of  PIES are entitled to receive a cash
dividend.  The PIES will automatically  convert  into  shares of Common Stock on
July 1, 2001, at a rate based upon a formula dependent upon the market price  of
Common  Stock.   Before July 1, 2001, each PIES is convertible, at the option of
the holder thereof, into 0.8455 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in
certain events.

On July  2,  1998,  concurrently  with  the  syndication  of  the  Senior Credit
Facility, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount  of  Senior
Subordinated Notes through a private offering eligible for Rule 144A. The Senior
Subordinated  Notes  have  a ten-year maturity without sinking fund requirements
and are subject  to  optional  redemption  by  the  Company  after five years at
declining premiums.  On August 7, 1998, a Registration  Statement  was  declared
effective  by the SEC whereby the Company offered, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in the related Prospectus, to exchange $1,000 principal
amount of  Exchange  Notes  for  each  $1,000  principal  amount  of  its Senior
Subordinated Notes.  The terms of  the  Exchange  Notes  are  identical  in  all
material  respects  to  the  terms  of  the Senior Subordinated Notes, except as
described in the Prospectus.  The  offer  to exchange was completed in September
1998.

Capitalization

After issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes, Common Stock and PIES, entering
into the Senior  Credit  Facility  and  the  application  of  the  net  proceeds
therefrom, the Company's indebtedness as of September 30, 1998 was approximately
$490  million  (excluding  an additional $322 million available under the Senior
Credit Facility) with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 45%.

                                       22
<PAGE>
The Company's  primary  capital  requirements  are  expected  to include capital
expenditures, working capital and debt service.  The primary sources of  capital
are  expected  to  be  cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Senior
Credit Facility which incurs interest at variable rates.  Based upon current and
anticipated needs, the Company believes that available capital resources will be
adequate to meet anticipated future capital requirements.

The Senior Credit Facility, the Senior Subordinated Notes and PIES, as described
in Note C of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements impose various
restrictions and covenants  on  the  Company  that  could  potentially limit the
Company's ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for  unanticipated
capital  investments,  to  raise  additional  debt  or equity capital or to take
advantage of business opportunities.

CAPITAL SPENDING (EXCLUDING AMOUNTS TO FUND ACQUISITIONS)

During the first nine months of 1998, the Company's capital expenditures totaled
$131 million  which  were  financed  with  internally-generated  cash flows from
operations and external financing.  Although capital expenditures for  the  year
had  been projected to exceed $220 million, actual capital spending will be less
due to a number of factors,  including  the timing of refining and marketing and
other capital projects.  Capital expenditures for the  remainder  of  the  year,
currently  estimated at $45 million to $55 million, are expected to be funded by
cash flows from operations  and  external  borrowings under the Company's credit
arrangements.

The Exploration  and  Production  segment  accounts  for  $139  million  of  the
projected  capital spending with $88 million planned for U.S. activities and $51
million  for  Bolivia.   Planned  U.S.  expenditures  include  $20  million  for
acquisitions, $32 million for development  drilling (participation in 27 wells),
$14 million for leasehold, geological  and  geophysical,  and  $22  million  for
exploratory  drilling  (participation  in  22  wells).  In Bolivia, the drilling
program is projected at $10 million for development drilling (two wells) and $22
million for exploratory drilling (three  wells),  with the remainder planned for
gathering lines  to  shut-in  wells,  workovers  and  three-dimensional  seismic
activity.   For the 1998 Period, actual U.S. expenditures in the Exploration and
Production segment were $76  million,  principally  for the participation in the
drilling of 16 development wells (15 completed), 18  exploratory  wells  (eleven
completed)  and  purchases  of interests in oil and gas properties.  In Bolivia,
capital spending for the 1998 Period totaled $27 million, primarily for drilling
four wells in progress.

Capital spending for the downstream  operations,  the Refining and Marketing and
Marine Services segments, are projected to range from $30 million to $40 million
for the year 1998, which includes retail marketing projects, improvements to the
refineries, environmental projects and equipment  and  facility  upgrades.   The
downstream  operations  spent  approximately  $24 million towards these projects
during the 1998 Period.

Capital expenditures for corporate  projects  are primarily directed towards the
installation and implementation of an integrated software system, which  totaled
$4  million  during the 1998 Period.  Another $2 million is expected to be spent
in this area during  the  remainder  of  1998,  with  $12 million to be expended
during 1999.

CASH FLOWS

Components of the Company's cash flows are set forth below (in millions):

</TABLE>

Net cash from operating activities  of  $99  million  during  the  1998  Period,
compares  to $71 million during the 1997 Period.  Higher levels of earnings plus
depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization,  primarily  from  the Acquisitions,
together with favorable changes in working capital components contributed to the
increase in cash flows from operations during the 1998 period.  Net cash used in
investing  activities  of  $659  million  during  the   1998   Period   included
approximately $528 million for the Acquisitions and capital expenditures of $131
million.   Net  cash  from  financing  activities  of  $556 million included net
proceeds from the Offerings  of  $533  million, gross borrowings under revolving
credit lines and term loans of $901 million with $775 million of repayments, and
refinancing and payment of other debt of $92 million.  At  September  30,  1998,
the  Company's net working capital totaled $151 million, which included cash and
cash equivalents of $3 million.

ENVIRONMENTAL

The Company is subject to extensive  federal, state and local environmental laws
and regulations.  These laws, which change frequently, regulate the discharge of
materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate
the environmental effects of the disposal or release of  petroleum  or  chemical
substances   at   various   sites   or  install  additional  controls  or  other
modifications or changes in use  for  certain  emission sources.  The Company is
currently involved in remedial responses and has incurred  cleanup  expenditures
associated with environmental matters at a number of sites, including certain of
its  current  and  prior-owned properties.  At September 30, 1998, the Company's
accruals for environmental expenses  totaled  $11.4 million.  Based on currently
available information, including the participation of other  parties  or  former
owners in remediation actions, the Company believes these accruals are adequate.
In  addition  to  environmental  expenses,  the Company anticipates it will make
capital improvements totaling approximately $10  million  in 1998 and $7 million
in 1999 to comply with environmental laws and regulations affecting its  Alaska,
Hawaii,  Pacific  Northwest  and  Gulf  Coast  operations.  In addition, capital
expenditures for alternate  secondary  containment  systems for existing storage
tank facilities in Alaska are estimated to be $2 million in 1998 and $2  million
in 1999, with a remaining $ 5 million to be spent by the end of year 2002.

Conditions  that  require  additional expenditures may exist for various Company
sites, including, but not limited  to, the Company's refineries, retail stations
(current  and  closed  locations)  and  petroleum  product  terminals,  and  for
compliance with the Clean Air Act. The amount of such future expenditures cannot
currently be determined by the Company.

For further information on  environmental  and  other  contingencies,  including
environmental  matters  related  to  the  Acquisitions,  see  Note E of Notes to
Condensed Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  Part  I,  Item  1,  and Legal
Proceedings in Part II, Item 1, included herein

OTHER

The Company's results for the 1998 Period reflected receipt of approximately $21
million pretax ($14 million aftertax) from an operator in the  Bob  West  Field,
representing  funds  that  are  no  longer  needed  as a contingency reserve for
litigation.  These proceeds were used to reduce debt levels.

In October 1998, the Company's Board  of Directors unanimously approved the 1998
Performance Incentive Compensation  Plan  (the  "Performance  Plan"),  which  is
intended  to  advance  the best interests of the Company and its stockholders by
directly targeting Company performance  to  align  with the ninetieth percentile
historical stock-price growth rate for the Company's peer group.   In  addition,
the  Performance  Plan  will  provide  the  Company's  employees with additional
compensation, contingent upon  achievement  of  the targeted objectives, thereby
encouraging  them  to  continue  in  the  employ  of  the  Company.   Under  the
Performance Plan, targeted objectives are comprised of the fair market value  of
the  Company's  Common  Stock  equaling or exceeding an average of $35 per share
(the "First Performance  Target")  and  $45  per  share (the "Second Performance
Target") on any 20 consecutive  trading  days  during  a  period  commencing  on
October  1, 1998 and ending on the earlier of September 30, 2002, or the date on
which the Second Performance Target is achieved (the "Performance Period").  The
Performance  Plan  has  several  tiers  of  awards,  with  the  award  generally
determined by job level.   Most  eligible  employees  have contingent cash bonus
opportunities of 25% of their annual "basic compensation"  (as  defined  in  the
Performance Plan) and three executive officers have contingent awards of phantom
stock.   Upon  achievement  of  the  First Performance Target, one-fourth of the
contingent awards will be  earned,  with  payout  deferred  until the end of the
Performance Period.  The remaining 75% will be earned only upon  achievement  of
the  Second  Performance  Target,  with  payout  occurring  30  days thereafter.
Employees will need to have at  least  one year of regular, full-time service at
the time the Performance Period ends in order to be eligible for a payment.  The
Company estimates that it will incur aftertax costs of approximately 1%  of  the
total aggregate increase in shareholder value if the First Performance Target is
reached  and  will  incur  an  additional  2%  aftertax  charge  if  the  Second
Performance Target is reached.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

The efficient operation of the  Company's  business is dependent on its computer
hardware, operating systems and software programs  (collectively,  "Systems  and
Programs").   These  Systems  and  Programs are used in several key areas of the
Company's  business,   including   production   and   distribution,  information
management  services  and  financial  reporting,   as   well   as   in   various
administrative  functions.   The  Company  has  been  evaluating its Systems and
Programs to identify potential year 2000  compliance problems, as well as manual
processes, external interfaces with customers and services supplied  by  vendors
to coordinate year 2000 compliance and conversion.  The Company has

                                       24
<PAGE>
identified  and is replacing a number of Systems and Programs which are not year
2000 compliant.  The year  2000  problem  refers  to  the limitations of certain
existing hardware and software programs to recognize date sensitive  information
for  the  year  2000  and beyond.  Unless replaced or modified prior to the year
2000, such hardware and systems may  not properly recognize such information and
could generate erroneous data or cause a system to  fail  to  operate  properly.
Based on current information, the Company expects to attain year 2000 compliance
and  institute  appropriate  testing  of its modifications and replacements in a
timely fashion and in advance  of  the  year  2000 date change.  Modification or
replacement of the Company's Systems and Programs is being performed in-house by
company personnel as well as external consultants.

The Company believes  that,  with  hardware  replacement  and  modifications  to
existing software or conversions to new software, the year 2000 date change will
not  pose  a  significant operational problem for the Company.  However, because
most computer systems are, by their  very nature, interdependent, it is possible
that non-compliant third party computer systems or programs  may  not  interface
properly  with  the  Company's  computer  systems.   The  Company  has requested
assurance from third parties that  their  computers, systems or programs be year
2000 compliant.  The Company could, however, be adversely affected by  the  year
2000 problem if it or unrelated parties fail to successfully address this issue.

Management  of  the  Company  expects  that  expenses  and  capital expenditures
associated with the year 2000 compliance project will not have a material effect
on its business,  financial  condition  or  results  of operations.  The Company
estimates that it will spend approximately $1 million in 1998 and $4 million  in
1999  to  become year 2000 compliant.  The costs of year 2000 compliance and the
expected completion dates are the  best  estimates of Company management and are
believed to be reasonably accurate.  In the event the Company's plan to  address
the year 2000 problem is not successfully or timely implemented, the Company may
need  to  devote  more  resources  to  the  process  and additional costs may be
incurred.  Problems encountered by  the  Company's  vendors, customers and other
third parties may also have an  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  operations.
Purchased  hardware  and  software will continue to be capitalized in accordance
with accounting policy.  Personnel and other costs will also be accounted for as
appropriate under accounting policy.

The  foregoing  statements  in  the  above paragraphs under "Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosure" herein are  intended  to  be  and  are  hereby designated "Year 2000
Readiness Disclosure" statements within the meaning of the Year 2000 Information
and Readiness Disclosure Act.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No.  132,  "Employers'  Disclosures  about  Pensions  and  Other  Postretirement
Benefits," which standardizes the disclosures  related  to  pensions  and  other
postretirement   benefits   to   the  extent  practicable,  requires  additional
information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan assets
and eliminates certain disclosures  previously  required.   SFAS No. 132 becomes
effective for the Company in 1998 and contains  provisions  for  restatement  of
prior  period  information.   In  June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No. 133,
"Accounting  for   Derivative   Instruments   and   Hedging  Activities,"  which
establishes accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  derivative  instruments,
including  certain  derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts and for
hedging  activities.   SFAS  No.  133  requires  that  an  entity  recognize all
derivatives as either assets  or  liabilities  in  the  statement  of  financial
position  and  measure  those  instruments  at  fair  value.  The accounting for
changes in the fair value of  a  derivative  depends  on the intended use of the
derivative and the resulting designation.  SFAS No. 133  is  effective  for  all
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and should not be applied
retroactively  to  financial  statements  of  prior  periods.   The  Company  is
evaluating  the  effects  that  these  new statements will have on its financial
condition, results of operations and financial reporting and disclosures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q  contains  certain  statements  that are
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act").   These  forward-looking
statements  include,  among  other  things,  discussions  of anticipated revenue
enhancements and cost savings following the Acquisitions, the Company's business
strategy and  expectations  concerning  the  Company's  market  position, future
operations,   margins,   profitability,   liquidity   and   capital   resources,
expenditures for capital projects and attempts to reduce  costs.   Although  the
Company  believes that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements
contained in this Form 10-Q  are  based  are  reasonable, any of the assumptions
could prove to be inaccurate and, as a result,  the  forward-looking  statements
based  on  those  assumptions  also  could  be  incorrect.   All  phases  of the
operations of the Company  involve  risks  and  uncertainties, many of which are
outside the control of the Company and any one of which,  or  a  combination  of
which,  could  materially  affect  the  results  of the Company's operations and
whether the forward-looking statements  ultimately  prove to be correct.  Actual
results and trends in the future may differ materially depending on a variety of
factors including, but not limited to, the  timing  and  extent  of  changes  in
commodity  prices  and underlying demand and availability of crude oil and other
refinery feedstocks, refined products, and  natural  gas; changes in the cost or
availability of third-party vessels, pipelines and other means  of  transporting
feedstocks  and products; execution of planned capital projects; adverse changes
in the credit  ratings  assigned  to  the  Company's  trade  credit; future well
performance; the extent of the  Company's  success  in  acquiring  oil  and  gas
properties  and  in  discovering,  developing  and producing reserves; state and
federal environmental, economic, safety and  other policies and regulations, any
changes therein, and any legal or regulatory delays or other factors beyond  the
Company's  control;  adverse rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or
other legal matters,  including  unexpected  environmental  remediation costs in
excess of any reserves; actions of customers and competitors; weather conditions
affecting the Company's operations or the areas in which the Company's  products
are  marketed;  earthquakes  or  other  natural  disasters affecting operations;
political developments in foreign countries;  and  the conditions of the capital
markets and equity markets during the periods  covered  by  the  forward-looking
statements.   Future  results  will  also  be  dependent upon the ability of the
Company to integrate the Acquisitions with the Company's other operations.  Many
of the factors are described in greater detail in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the  year  ended  December  31,  1997,  and other of the Company's
filings  with  the  SEC.   All  subsequent  written  and  oral   forward-looking
statements  attributable  to  the  Company  or  persons acting on its behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety  by the foregoing.  The Company undertakes
no obligation to publicly release the  result  of  any  revisions  to  any  such
forward-looking  statements  that may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Environmental.   On August 26, 1998, the United States Coast Guard issued a
     Notice of Federal Interest For  An  Oil Pollution Incident to Tesoro Hawaii
     Corporation ("Tesoro Hawaii"), a subsidiary of the Company,  in  connection
     with  an  oil  spill  which occurred on August 24, 1998, at Tesoro Hawaii's
     single point mooring at  Barbers  Point,  Oahu, Hawaii.  Tesoro Hawaii, the
     Coast Guard and the Hawaii Department of Health ("HDOH") responded  to  the
     spill  immediately  and  clean-up  efforts  have been completed.  Under the
     Federal Water Pollution Control Act and  the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the
     responsible party is  liable  for  removal  costs  and  damages,  including
     damages from injury to natural resources and may be assessed administrative
     or  civil  penalties.   The Company carries insurance to provide protection
     against  pollution  damages.   The  Company   does  not  believe  that  the
     resolution of this oil spill will have a material  adverse  effect  on  the
     Company.

     On  October  2,  1998,  the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
     ("ADEC")  issued  a  Notice  of  Violation  ("NOV")  against  the Company's
     refinery in Alaska related to non-compliance with the facility air  quality
     permit.   This  NOV  alleges  that  an  air  emission treatment unit at the
     refinery groundwater treatment system did  not maintain the air contaminant
     removal efficiency rate required in the facility air quality  permit.   The
     Company has initiated discussions with the ADEC on this matter and does not
     believe  that the resolution thereof will have a material adverse effect on
     the Company.

     On October 19, 1998, the Company  received  notice from the EPA that it has
     been identified as a PRP under the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response,
     Compensation  and Liability Act ("CERCLA") at the Casmalia Disposal Site in
     Santa Barbara County, California.  The site  is being remediated by the EPA
     pursuant to CERCLA Superfund law and the Resource Conservation and Recovery
     Act ("RCRA").  Although CERCLA imposes joint and several liability on PRPs,
     the extent of the Company's allocated financial contribution for cleanup is
     expected to be de minimis based on the volume of waste disposed of  at  the
     site  by  the  Company  as  identified  in  the  EPA's notice.  The Company
     believes that the aggregate amount of  its  liability at this site will not
     have a material adverse effect on the Company.

     On October 16, 1998, the HDOH issued a  Notice  of  Apparent  Violation  of
     Hawaii  state  law to Tesoro Hawaii in connection with a spill on September
     23, 1998.  During the loading  of  a  time-chartered barge, diesel fuel was
     spilled into the state waters at Barbers Point Harbor,  Oahu,  Hawaii.   It
     was  immediately  cleaned  up  by  the  charterer of the barge.  Hawaii law
     requires that appropriate action to  correct  an apparent violation must be
     taken and further provides for civil  penalties.   The  Company  has  taken
     corrective  action  and  does not believe that the resolution of the diesel
     fuel spill will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

     Other.  On October 1, 1998,  the  Attorney  General for the State of Hawaii
     filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District  Court  for  the  District  of  Hawaii
     against  thirteen oil companies, including Tesoro Petroleum Corporation and
     Tesoro Hawaii Corporation, alleging anti-competitive marketing practices in
     violation of  Federal  and  State  anti-trust  laws.   The  complaint seeks
     injunctive relief and compensatory and treble damages and  civil  penalties
     against all defendants in an amount in excess of $500 million.  The Company
     believes  that  it  has  not engaged in any anti-competitive activities and
     that this proceeding is  subject  to  the  indemnity provision of the Stock
     Sale Agreement between the BHP Sellers and the Company which  provides  for
     indemnification in excess of $2 million and not to exceed $65 million.  The
     Company will defend this litigation vigorously.

                             PLAN PURPOSE AND TERM

         1.1  PURPOSE.  The Plan is intended to advance the best interests of
the Company and its stockholders by directly targeting  Company  performance  to
align  with  the ninetieth percentile historical stock-price growth rate for the
Company's  peer  group.   In  addition,  the  Plan  will  provide  the Company's
employees with additional  compensation,  contingent  upon  achievement  of  the
targeted  objectives,  thereby encouraging them to continue in the employ of the
Company or any of its Affiliates.

         1.2  TERM OF PLAN.  The Plan  is  effective  October 1, 1998.  The Plan
shall remain in effect until all Contingent Awards  under  the  Plan  have  been
satisfied or have expired.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                  DEFINITIONS

          The  words  and phrases defined in this Article shall have the meaning
set out in these definitions  throughout  the  Plan, unless the context in which
any such word or phrase appears reasonably  requires  a  broader,  narrower,  or
different meaning.

         2.1  "AFFILIATE"  means   any   parent   corporation,   any  subsidiary
corporation and any partnership the majority of which is owned by the Company or
a parent corporation or subsidiary corporation.  The term  "parent  corporation"
means  any  corporation  (other  than  the  Company)  in  an  unbroken  chain of
corporations  ending  with  the  Company  if,  at  the  time  of  the  action or
transaction, each  of  the  corporations  other  than  the  Company  owns  stock
possessing  50 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock in one of the  other  corporations  in the chain.  The term "subsidiary
corporation" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain
of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the  time  of  the  action  or
transaction,  each  of  the  corporations other than the last corporation in the
unbroken chain owns stock possessing  50  percent  or more of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock in one of the  other  corporations  in  the
chain.

         2.2  "APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE" means the percentage of Basic Compensation
taken  into  account  under  a  Contingent  Award as specified in Section 3.1 or
Appendix A.

         2.3  "BASIC COMPENSATION" means annualized  wages within the meaning of
section 3401(a) of the Code (for purposes  of  income  tax  withholding  at  the
source)  paid  to  the  Employee  by  the  Company  and  any  Affiliate plus the
Employee's pre-tax elective contributions  under  any cafeteria plan governed by
section 125 of the Code and any plan qualified under section 401(k) of the  Code
that  is  maintained  by  the  Company  or  an  Affiliate,  excluding all of the
following items paid by the Company or an Affiliate (even if includible in gross
income):   bonuses  and  other  incentive  compensation,  pension  or retirement
benefits, reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash  and
non-cash),  moving expenses, deferred compensation (including amounts paid under
the Plan and amounts includible in  gross  income upon the vesting of restricted
stock and upon the exercise of a stock option or stock appreciation right),  and
welfare benefits (such as severance pay).  For purposes of determining the Basic
Compensation  of an Employee who is nonexempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act
of 1938, Basic Compensation shall be defined  as set forth above except that the
definition of Basic Compensation shall include incentive  bonus  payments  under
the  Company's incentive compensation plans, as they may be determined from time
to time.  Except as provided in the previous sentence, it is intended that Basic
Compensation include only regular hourly  wages or regular monthly, semi-monthly
or bi-weekly salary and not other forms of compensation.

                                      II-1
<PAGE>
         To determine Basic Compensation for the calculation of  payments  to  a
nonexempt Employee, Basic Compensation shall be the sum of the amounts specified
above paid to the Employee for the months that he was employed by the Company or
its  Affiliates  during  the  Performance  Period, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is 365 and  the  denominator  of  which is the number of days
that he was employed by the Company or its  Affiliates  during  the  Performance
Period.

         2.4  "BOARD" means the board of directors of the Company.

         2.5  "CHANGE  OF  CONTROL" means the occurrence of any of the following
after the date on which the applicable Contingent Award is granted:

          (i)  there shall  be  consummated  (A)  any consolidation or
     merger of the Company in which the Company is not the  continuing
     or  surviving  corporation  or  pursuant  to  which shares of the
     Company's Common Stock would  be  converted into cash, securities
     or other property, other than a merger of  the  Company  where  a
     majority  of  the Board of Directors of the surviving corporation
     are, and for a two-year  period  after the merger continue to be,
     persons who were directors of the Company  immediately  prior  to
     the  merger  or  were  elected  as  directors,  or  nominated for
     election as directors, by a  vote  of  at least two-thirds of the
     directors then still in office who were directors of the  Company
     immediately  prior  to  the  merger,  or  (B)  any  sale,  lease,

     transactions) of all or  substantially  all  of the assets of the
     Company; or

     or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

          (iii)  (A) any "person", as such term is  used  in  Sections

                                  ARTICLE III

                GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CONTINGENT AWARDS

         3.1  GRANTS   OF   CONTINGENT   AWARDS.  Effective   October  1,  1998,
Contingent Awards have been  granted  to  Employees  in amounts specified by the
Board, consistent with the levels set forth on  Appendix  A.  In  addition,  the
Board  has  granted to three executive officers of the Company Contingent Awards
of Phantom Stock as  specified  by  the  Board.   Any  Employee who has not been
granted a Contingent Award by the Board but is an Employee on October  1,  1998,
is  hereby  granted  a Contingent Award of 25 percent of his Basic Compensation.
If a person becomes an  Employee  after  October  1,  1998, he will be granted a
Contingent Award on the date that he becomes  an  Employee.   The  size  of  the
Contingent   Award   will   be  commensurate  with  such  Employee's  employment
classification as specified in Appendix  A.  The  Chief Executive Officer of the
Company has the authority to  determine  Contingent  Awards  of  less  than  100
percent  of  Basic  Compensation  for  newly  hired  employees  and  promotions.
Contingent  Awards  equal  to  or in excess of 100 percent of Basic Compensation
must be approved by the Committee or the Board.

         3.2  ATTAINMENT OF PERFORMANCE  TARGETS.  The  First Performance Target
or Second Performance Target  will  be  treated  as  having  been  attained  for
purposes of the Plan and Contingent Awards thereunder only if the average of the
Fair Market Values of the Stock for any 20 consecutive trading day period during
the Performance Period equals or exceeds  the First Performance Target or Second
Performance Target, as applicable.

         3.3  PAYMENT OF CONTINGENT AWARDS.

          (a)  Grantee Who is Still Employed  at  the  End  of  the  Performance
Period.

          If  a  Grantee  of a Contingent Award is an Employee at the end of the
Performance Period and if he has been an  Employee for at least 365 days on such
date, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to him  on  the  Payout  Date  an
amount  equal  to  the Applicable Percentage of his Basic Compensation as of the
date the Second Performance Target is achieved,  or 25 percent of that amount if
the First Performance Target is achieved but the Second  Performance  Target  is
not  achieved.   However, in either case, the amount payable to a Grantee who is
hired by the Company or an Affiliate  after  October 1, 1998, will be reduced so
that he receives a Pro  Rata  Share  of  the  applicable amount specified in the
preceding sentence.

          (b)  Grantee Who is Not Employed at the End of the Performance Period.

          If a Grantee of a Contingent Award has been an Employee for  at  least
365 days, but he is not an Employee at the end of the Performance Period because
of  his  death,  Retirement,  or Disability that occurred during the Performance
Period, the Company

                                     III-1
<PAGE>
will pay or cause to be paid to him or his estate on the Payout Date  an  amount
equal  to the Pro Rata Share of the amount that he would have received under the
Contingent Award on such date (as  specified  in  paragraph (a) above) if he had
continued working until the end of the Performance Period and been paid  through
that date his same Basic Compensation that was in effect upon his termination of
employment,  provided  that  for purposes of determining his Pro Rata Share, the
Grantee shall not be given credit for  the time from the date of his termination
of employment to the end of the Performance Period.  If a Grantee is  terminated
without cause during the Performance Period, the Grantee shall be entitled to an
amount  equal  to  the  Pro Rata Share of the amount that he would have received
under the Contingent Award on the Pay-Out Date if he continued working until the
end of the Performance Period  and  been  paid  through that date his same Basic
Compensation that was in effect upon his  termination  of  employment,  provided
that  for  purposes  of determining his Pro Rata Share, the Grantee shall not be
given credit for the time from the  date of his termination of employment to the
end  of  the  Performance  Period.   For  purposes  of  this   Section   3.3(b),
"termination  without  cause"  shall mean termination of Grantee's employment by
the Company other than a termination  based  on the Grantee's failure to perform
the duties required of the Grantee, the Grantee's acting in a manner adverse  to
or  inconsistent  with  the interest of the Company, or the Grantee's taking any
action or being involved in any  activity that adversely affects the interest of
the Company or the ability of the Grantee to perform the duties required of him.
If a Grantee of a Contingent Award  is  not  an  Employee  at  the  end  of  the
Performance  Period for any reason other than his death, Disability, Retirement,
or termination without cause, no amount  will be paid under his Contingent Award
on the Payout Date.

          (c)  Special Rule For  Certain  Grantees  of  Contingent Awards in the
               Event of a Change of Control.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if the Grantee  of  a
Contingent Award whose Applicable Percentage is 400 or more has been an Employee
for  at  least 365 days on the day before a Change of Control that occurs during
the Performance Period, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Grantee
on the earlier of the Payout Date  or 30 days after termination of employment by
the Company, other  than  a  termination  "with  cause",  or  30  days  after  a
termination  of employment by the Employee for "good reason", an amount equal to
the Applicable Percentage of  the  greater  of his Basic Compensation determined
either as of the day before the Change of Control or the date of termination  of
employment,  irrespective  of  whether either of the First Performance Target or
the Second Performance Target  has  been  attained.  For purposes of determining
the amount of any payment upon a Change of Control, the payment shall be subject
to reduction pursuant to Section 3.3(a) in the event the Grantee was hired after
October 1, 1998, but shall not be reduced pursuant to Section 3.3(b) so that for
all purposes of determining the payment, it will be  assumed  that  the  Grantee
remained  an  employee  of  the  Company  or  an  Affiliate  to  the  end of the
Performance Period for purposes hereof;  provided, however, the calculation of a
Pro Rata Share for a Grantee who was hired after October 1, 1998, shall  use  in
the denominator the number of  days  from  October  1,  1998,  to  the  date  of
termination of employment in lieu of the number of days in the

                                     III-2
<PAGE>
Performance  Period.  "With cause" shall mean a termination of employment by the
Company solely on account of the  conviction  of,  or plea of nolo contendre by,
the Grantee to the charge of a felony that, through lapse of time or  otherwise,
is  not  subject to appeal, or on account of a material breach of fiduciary duty
to the  Company  through  the  misappropriation  of  Company  funds or property.
Termination by the Grantee for "good reason" shall exist if any of the following
occurs:

          (i)  without   Grantee's   express   written   consent,  the
     assignment  to  Grantee  of  any  duties  inconsistent  with  the
     employment of Grantee immediately prior to the Change of Control,
     or  a  significant  diminution  of  Employee's  position, duties,
     responsibilities  or  status  with   the   Company   from   those
     immediately  prior  to  a  Change  of  Control or a diminution in
     Grantee's titles or offices as  in  effect immediately prior to a
     Change of Control, or any removal of Grantee from, or any failure
     to reelect Grantee to, any of such positions;

          (ii)  a  reduction  by  the  Company  in   Grantee's   Basic
     Compensation in effect immediately prior to a Change of Control;

          (iii)  the  failure by the Company to continue in effect any
     thrift, stock ownership, pension, life insurance, health, dental,
     and  accident   or   disability   plan   in   which  Employee  is
     participating or is eligible to participate at the  time  of  the
     Change of Control (or plans providing Employee with substantially
     similar  benefits),  except as otherwise required by the terms of
     such plans as in effect at  the  time of any Change of Control or
     the taking of any action by  the  Company  that  would  adversely
     affect  Grantee's participation in or materially reduce Grantee's
     benefits under  any  of  such  plans  or  deprive  Grantee of any
     material fringe benefits enjoyed by Grantee at the  time  of  the
     Change  of  Control  or  the  failure  by  the Company to provide
     Grantee with the number of  paid  vacation days to which Employee
     is entitled in accordance  with  the  vacation  policies  of  the
     Company in effect at the time of a Change of Control;

          (iv)  the  failure  by the Company to continue in effect any
     incentive plan or arrangement  in  which Grantee is participating
     at the time of a Change of Control (or to substitute and continue
     other  plans  or  arrangements   providing   the   Grantee   with
     substantially  similar benefits), except as otherwise required by
     the terms of such plans as in  effect  at the time of any  Change
     of Control;

          (v)  the failure by the Company to continue  in  effect  any
     plan  or  arrangement  with  respect to securities of the Company
     (including,  without  limitation,  any  plan  or  arrangement  to
     receive and exercise  stock  options,  stock appreciation rights,
     restricted stock or grants thereof or to acquire stock  or  other
     securities of the Company) in which Grantee is participating

                                III-3
<PAGE>
     at the time of a Change of Control (or to substitute and continue
     plans or arrangements providing the  Grantee  with  substantially
     similar  benefits),  except as otherwise required by the terms of
     such plans as in effect at  the  time of any Change of Control or
     the taking of any action by  the  Company  that  would  adversely
     affect  Grantee's participation in or materially reduce Grantee's
     benefits under any such plan;

          (vi)  the relocation of the  Company's  principal  executive
     offices  to  a  location outside the San Antonio, Texas, area, or
     the Company's requiring Grantee  to  be based anywhere other than
     at the location of the  Grantee's  principal  place  of  business
     immediately  prior  to the Change of Control, except for required
     travel on  the  Company's  business  to  an  extent substantially
     consistent with Grantee's business travel  obligations  prior  to
     the  Change  of Control, or, in the event Grantee consents to any
     such relocation, the failure by  the Company to pay (or reimburse
     Grantee for) all reasonable moving expenses incurred  by  Grantee
     relating   to  a  change  of  Grantee's  principal  residence  in
     connection with such relocation  and to indemnify Grantee against
     any loss (defined as the difference between the actual sale price
     of such residence and the fair market value thereof as determined
     by  the  highest  of  three  appraisals  from  Member   Appraisal
     Institute-approved real estate appraisers reasonably satisfactory
     to  both Employee and the Company at the time Grantee's principal
     residence is offered for sale  in connection with any such change
     of residence);

          (vii)  any purported termination of Grantee's employment  by
     the  Company other than termination with cause as defined in this
     Section 3.3(c).

         3.4  PAYMENT OF CONTINGENT AWARDS OF PHANTOM STOCK.  On the Payout Date
the  Company shall pay or cause to be paid to a Grantee of a Contingent Award of
Phantom Stock an amount equal to  the  number of shares of Phantom Stock granted
to him under his Contingent Award multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share
of Stock on the last day of the Performance Period  if  the  Second  Performance
Target  is  attained and the Grantee is still an Employee on the date the Second
Performance Target is achieved.  If the First Performance Target is attained but
the Second Performance  Target  is  not  attained  and  the  Grantee is still an
Employee at the end of the Performance Period, the Company shall pay or cause to
be paid to the Grantee on the Payout Date one-fourth of the amount specified  in
the preceding sentence.  If during the term of his employment agreement with the
Company  or  an  Affiliate  and  during  the  Performance  Period  the Grantee's
employment with the Company or  an  Affiliate  is  terminated by the Grantee for
"good reason" or by the Company or an Affiliate "without cause" as such  phrases
are  defined  in  the  Grantee's  employment  agreement  with  the Company or an
Affiliate (including as such terms  are  redefined  in  the event of a Change of
Control as defined in such employment agreement), the Grantee shall be  entitled
to  receive within 30 days of such termination an amount equal to his Contingent
Award of Phantom Stock multiplied by the  average of the Fair Market Values of a
share of Stock for the 20 consecutive trading

                                III-4
<PAGE>
days  ending on the trading day immediately preceding such termination; provided
that if a Change of Control  shall  have occurred prior to such termination, the
amount shall equal the  greatest  of  his  Contingent  Award  of  Phantom  Stock
multiplied  by  the  highest of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the
trading day immediately preceding  the  Change  of  Control,  or the Fair Market
Value of a share of Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the  date  on
which  the  stock  ceases  to  be  publicly  traded, if such is the case, or the
average of the Fair Market Values  of  a  share  of Stock for the 20 consecutive
trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding  such  termination.
If  a  Change  of Control shall occur and in connection therewith or at any time
thereafter, the Stock is exchanged for  and converted into anything other than a
publicly traded common stock (excluding cash paid in lieu of fractional shares),
the Grantee shall be entitled to receive, within 30 days  of  such  exchange  or
conversion,  an  amount  equal to the greater of the Contingent Award of Phantom
Stock multiplied by the higher  of  the  Fair  Market  Value of the Stock on the
trading day immediately preceding the Change of  Control,  or  the  Fair  Market
Value  of  the  Stock  on the trading day immediately preceding such exchange or
conversion, in  lieu  of  any  other  payment  or  award  with  respect  to such
Contingent Award.


     If a Grantee of a Phantom Stock Contingent Award is not an Employee at  the
end  of  the  Performance Period because of his death, Retirement, or Disability
that occurs prior to the end of  the Performance Period, the Company will pay or
cause to be paid to him or his estate on the Payout Date an amount equal to  the
Pro  Rata  Share  of the amount that he would have received under the Contingent
Award on that date if he had  continued working until the end of the Performance
Period, provided that for purposes  of  determining  his  Pro  Rata  Share,  the
Grantee  shall not be given credit for the time from the date of his termination
of employment to the end  of  the  Performance  Period.  However, if a Change of
Control has occurred, the amount of the payment shall be determined based  on  a
Pro-Rata  Share  of  an  amount  equal to the greater of his Contingent Award of
Phantom Stock multiplied by the higher of  the Fair Market Value of the Stock on
the trading day immediately preceding the Change of Control, or the Fair  Market
Value  of  the Stock on the last day of the Performance Period, and provided, if
the Stock is converted or  exchanged  for  anything other than a publicly traded
common stock (excluding cash paid in lieu of  fractional  shares),  the  Grantee
shall  be  paid within 30 days of such exchange or conversion in an amount based
on the higher  of  the  Fair  Market  Value  of  the  Stock  on  the trading day
immediately preceding the Change of Control, or the Fair  Market  Value  of  the
Stock  on the trading day immediately preceding such exchange or conversion.  If
a Grantee of a Phantom Stock Contingent  Award  is not an Employee at the end of
the Performance  Period  for  any  reason  other  than  his  death,  Disability,
Retirement,  termination  of  employment  by  the  Grantee for "good reason" (as
defined in his  employment  agreement  with  the  Company  or  an Affiliate), or
termination of employment by the Company or an  Affiliate  "without  cause"  (as
defined in his employment agreement with the Company or an Affiliate), no amount
will be paid under his Contingent Award on the Payout Date.

         3.5  NO  RIGHTS  AS STOCKHOLDER.  No Grantee shall have any rights as a
stockholder as a result of his Contingent Award.

                                     III-5
<PAGE>
         3.6  NON-TRANSFERABILITY.  Except as may  be  specified in a "qualified
domestic  relations  order,"  an  unvested  Contingent  Award   shall   not   be
transferable by the Employee otherwise than by will or under the laws of descent
and  distribution.   In the discretion of the Committee, any attempt to transfer
an unvested  Contingent  Award  other  than  under  the  terms  of  the Plan may
terminate the Contingent Award.

         3.7  RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY.

          (a)  No Limitations  on  Company's  Rights  to  Effect  Changes.   The
existence of outstanding Contingent Awards shall not affect in any way the right
or  power  of  the  Company  or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all
adjustments,  recapitalizations,  reorganizations,  or   other  changes  in  the
Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or  consolidation  of
the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, or preferred or prior preference
stock  ahead  of  or  affecting  the  Stock or its rights, or the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or any sale  or  transfer  of all or any part of its
assets or business, or any other corporate  act  or  proceeding,  whether  of  a
similar character or otherwise.

          (b)  Increase  or  Reduction of Outstanding Shares.  If a stock split,
reverse  stock  split,   stock   dividend,   combination,  recapitalization,  or
reclassification of the Stock, or any other increase or decrease in  the  number
of shares of the Stock outstanding, is effected without receipt of consideration
by  the  Company,  then  the First and Second Performance Targets and Contingent
Awards of Phantom Stock under  the  Plan  shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Committee.  The conversion of any convertible securities of  the  Company  shall
not  be  deemed  to  have been "effected without receipt of consideration by the
Company."  Such adjustment shall be  made  by the Committee, whose determination
in that respe ct shall be final, binding and conclusive.

          (c)  Merger of the Company.   In  the  event  the Company is merged or
consolidated with another entity (whether or not the Company  is  the  surviving
entity) and the Stock is converted into another publicly traded equity security,
then  the  First  and  Second  Performance  Targets and the Contingent Awards of
Phantom Stock under the Plan shall be  adjusted, in good faith, by the Committee
based on the terms of conversion of the  Stock  into  such  equity  security  to
provide  substantially the same economic opportunity and benefits as provided by
the Plan prior to such  merger  or  consolidation.   In the event the Company is
merged or consolidated with another entity, and  the  Stock  is  converted  into
cash,  property,  debt,  or  some  other  consideration  that  is  not an equity
security, each Grantee shall be entitled to  a payment, adjusted as set forth in
the next sentences, at the time of such merger or  consolidation  as  though  he
continued to work until the end of the Performance Period and based on his Basic
Compensation  that  is  in effect at the time of the merger or consolidation.  A
portion of such payment would  be  based  on attainment toward meeting the First
Performance Target and would equal the amount  of  the  payment  that  otherwise
would  have been made if the First Performance Target had been met multiplied by
a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value of the Stock on
the last trading day prior  to  such  merger  or combination minus $12.8125 (the
"Adjusted

                                     III-6
<PAGE>
Merger Value") and the denominator of which  shall  be  $22.1875;  provided  the
fraction  shall  not exceed one.  The remaining portion of such payment would be
based on attainment toward meeting the Second Performance Target  and  would  be
equal  to  three-fourths  of the amount of the payment that otherwise would have
been made if the Second Performance Target had been met multiplied by a fraction
the numerator of which shall be the Adjusted Merger Value and the denominator of
which shall be $32.1875; provided  the  fraction  shall  not exceed one.  To the
extent of any conflict between this Subsection (c) and Section 3.3(c)  and  3.4,
Sections 3.3(c) and 3.4 shall control.

          (d)  Spin-off of Business Segment.  In the event the Company  disposes
of  any  business  segment  or  one  or more of its refineries as an entity by a
spin-off dividend of the capital  stock  of  the subsidiary owning such business
segment or refinery, the First Performance Target  and  the  Second  Performance
Target  shall  be  adjusted  for  the  remainder  of  the  Performance Period by
multiplying the First Performance Target and  the Second Performance Target by a
fraction with a numerator equal to the Fair Market Value of  the  stock  at  the
close of business on the first day on which the Stock traded separately from the
stock of the spin-off company (the "Post Spin-off Price") and the denominator of
which  is  the  Fair  Market  Value of the Stock at the close of business on the
immediately preceding trading day (the  "Pre-Spin-Off Price").  In addition, the
Company shall cause the company to be spun-off to  adopt  a  plan  substantially
identical to this Plan provided that the First Performance Target and the Second
Performance  Target  for  such Plan shall be determined by multiplying the First
Performance Target and the Second Performance Target hereunder by a fraction the
numerator of which shall be the Pre-Spin-off Price minus the Post Spin-off Price
and the  denominator  shall  be  the  Pre-Spin-off  Price.   Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Committee, by an  action  prior  to  the  date  of  the  spin-off
referred to in the previous two sentences, may elect not to adjust the First and
Second  Performance  Targets  and  may  provide  that  the  determination of the
attainment of the First  and  Second  Performance  Targets  shall  be based on a
combination of the Fair Market Value of the Stock and the Fair Market  Value  of
the  common stock of the spun-off company.  Such election by the Committee shall
be evidenced by an amendment  to  the  Plan  identifying the common stock of the
spun-off company and  containing  such  other  provisions  deemed  necessary  or
appropriate  by  the  Committee,  acting  in good faith, to carry out the intent
hereof.

          (e)  Certain Sales  of  Assets.   In  the  event  the  Company sells a
business segment or one or more of its refineries as an  entity,  no  adjustment
shall  be  made to this Plan with respect to Grantees remaining with the Company
or an Affiliate.  However,  with  respect  to  Grantees  who are employed by the
entity acquiring such assets and who  do  not  resign  from  or  terminate  such
employment and are not terminated from such employment for cause for a period of
one  year,  the  Company  shall either continue such Grantees under this Plan or
cause the acquiring  entity  to  assume  the  obligation  hereunder  so that the
transferred Grantee shall receive a Contingent Award hereunder  that  a  Grantee
would have received if a Grantee remained an employee of the Company to the  end
of  the  Performance Period but such Contingent Award shall be based solely upon
the time the

                                     III-7
<PAGE>
Grantee  was  an  employee  of the Company or an Affiliate and not upon any time
after the sale of such assets.

final authority and  discretion,  including  but  not  limited  to the following

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         6.1  UNFUNDED  ARRANGEMENT.  No property shall be set aside nor shall a
trust fund of any kind be established  to secure the rights of any Grantee under
the Plan.  All Grantees shall at all times rely solely upon the  general  credit
of  the  Company  for the payment of any benefit  that becomes payable under the
Plan.

         6.2  NO EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION.   The  granting  of any Contingent Award
shall not constitute an employment contract, express or implied, nor impose upon
the Company or any Affiliate any obligation to employ or continue to employ  the
Grantee.   The right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment
of any person shall not be diminished  or  affected by reason of the fact that a
Contingent Award has been granted to him.

         6.3  TAX WITHHOLDING.  The Company or any Affiliate shall  be  entitled
to  deduct  from  the  Contingent  Award  or  other compensation payable to each
Grantee any sums required by  federal,  state,  or  local tax law to be withheld
with respect to payments under a Contingent Award.

         6.4  INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMMITTEE.   The  Company  shall  indemnify
each  present and future member of the Committee against, and each member of the
Committee shall be entitled without  further  act  on his part to indemnity from
the Company  for,  all  expenses  (including  attorney's  fees,  the  amount  of
judgments,  and  the  amount  of  approved  settlements  made with a view to the
curtailment of costs  of  litigation,  other  than  amounts  paid to the Company
itself) reasonably incurred by him in connection with  or  arising  out  of  any
action,  suit,  or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his being
or having been a member of the  Committee,  whether  or not he continues to be a
member of the Committee at the time of  incurring  the  expenses  --  including,
without  limitation,  matters  as  to  which he shall be finally adjudged in any
action, suit, or proceeding to  have  been  found  to have been negligent in the
performance of his duty as a member of the Committee.  However,  this  indemnity
shall  not  include  any  expenses  incurred  by  any member of the Committee in
respect of matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in any action, suit,
or proceeding to have been guilty  of  gross negligence or willful misconduct in
the performance of his duty as a member of the Committee.  In addition, no right
of indemnification under the Plan shall be available to or  enforceable  by  any
member  of the Committee unless, within 60 days after institution of any action,
suit, or  proceeding,  he  shall  have  offered  the  Company,  in  writing, the
opportunity to handle and defend  same  at  its  own  expense.   This  right  of
indemnification  shall  inure  to  the  benefit  of  the  heirs,  executors,  or
administrators  of  each member of the Committee and shall be in addition to all
other rights to which a member of  the  Committee may be entitled as a matter of
law, contract, or otherwise.

require, as a condition to participating in the Plan,  that  an  employee  enter
into  an  Acknowledgment  and  Waiver  in  the  form  deemed  appropriate by the
Committee or the Board  to  establish  that any employment agreement, management
stability agreement or other agreement or arrangement applicable to the employee
will not accelerate, enhance or otherwise change the  benefits  intended  to  be
granted hereunder.

                       EXECUTIVE LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN


ARTICLE 1.  ESTABLISHMENT, PURPOSE, AND DURATION

1.1  ESTABLISHMENT  OF  THE  PLAN.  Tesoro  Petroleum  Corporation,  a  Delaware
     corporation (hereinafter  referred  to  as  the  "Company"), established an
     incentive  compensation  plan  to  be  known  as  the   "Tesoro   Petroleum
     Corporation Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan" (hereinafter referred to as
     the  "Plan"), as set forth in this document.  The Plan permits the grant of
     Nonqualified  Stock  Options,  Incentive  Stock  Options,  SARs, Restricted
     Stock, Performance Units, and Performance Shares.

     The Plan became effective as of September 15, 1993 (the "Effective  Date"),
     and shall remain in effect as provided in Section 1.3 herein.

     Effective  May  4, 1995, the Plan was amended to limit the number of Shares
     that can be granted in the form  of an Option to any Participant during any
     fiscal year of the Company to 500,000.

     Effective June 6, 1996, the Plan was amended  to  (i)  increase  the  total
     number  of  Shares  available  for  grant under the Plan and (ii) limit the
     total amount of Restricted Stock that can be awarded under the Plan.

     Effective July 29, 1998, the  Plan  was  amended  to (i) increase the total
     number of Shares available for grant under the Plan and (ii)  increase  the
     total amount of Restricted Stock that can be awarded under the Plan.

1.2  PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.  The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success and
     enhance  the  value  of  the  Company  by linking the personal interests of
     Participants  to  those   of   Company   shareholders,   and  by  providing
     Participants with an incentive for outstanding performance.

     The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company  in  its
     ability  to motivate, attract, and retain the services of Participants upon
     whose judgment, interest, and special  effort the successful conduct of its
     operation largely is dependent.

1.3  DURATION OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall commence on the  Effective  Date,  as
     described in Section 1.1 herein, and shall remain in effect, subject to the
     right  of the Board of Directors to terminate the Plan at any time pursuant
     to Article 14  herein,  until  all  Shares  subject  to  it shall have been
     purchased or acquired according to the Plan's provisions.  However,  in  no
     event  may  an  Award  be  granted under the Plan on or after September 15,
     2003.

     manner consistent with the Plan; to construe and interpret the Plan and any
     agreement or instrument entered into  under  the Plan; to establish, amend,
     or waive rules and regulations for the Plan's administration; and  (subject
     to  the  provisions of Article 14 herein) to amend the terms and conditions
     of any outstanding Award to the extent such terms and conditions are within
     the discretion of the  Committee  as  provided  in  the Plan.  Further, the
     Committee shall make all other determinations which  may  be  necessary  or
     advisable  for  the  administration  of the Plan.  As permitted by law, the
     Committee may delegate its authorities as identified hereunder.

3.3  DECISIONS BINDING.  All determinations and  decisions made by the Committee
     pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  the  Plan  and  all  related  orders  or
     resolutions of the Board of Directors

                                       5
<PAGE>
     shall be final, conclusive, and  binding  on  all  persons,  including  the
     Company,  its  stockholders, Employees, Participants, and their estates and
     beneficiaries.

ARTICLE 4.  SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

4.1  NUMBER OF SHARES.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3 herein,
     the total number of  Shares  available  for  grant  under  the Plan may not
     exceed 4,250,000.  These Shares may be either authorized  but  unissued  or
     reacquired Shares.

     The  following  rules  will  apply for purposes of the determination of the
     number of Shares available for grant under the Plan:

     (a)  While an  Award  is  outstanding,  it  shall  be  counted  against the
          authorized pool of Shares, regardless of its vested status.

     (b)  The grant of an Option or Restricted Stock  shall  reduce  the  Shares
          available  for grant under the Plan by the number of Shares subject to
          such Award.

     (c)  The grant of a Tandem SAR  shall reduce the number of Shares available
          for grant by the number of Shares subject to the related Option (i.e.,
          there is no double counting of Options and their related Tandem SARs).

     (d)  The grant of an Affiliated SAR  shall  reduce  the  number  of  Shares
          available  for  grant  by  the number of Shares subject to the SAR, in
          addition to the number of Shares subject to the related Option.

     (e)  The grant of a  Freestanding  SAR  shall  reduce  the number of Shares
          available for grant by the number of Freestanding SARs granted.

     (f)  The Committee shall in each case determine the appropriate  number  of
          Shares to deduct from the authorized pool in connection with the grant
          of Performance Units and/or Performance Shares.

4.2  LAPSED  AWARDS.   If  any  Award  granted  under  this  Plan  is  canceled,
     terminates,  expires,  or  lapses for any reason (with the exception of the
     termination of a Tandem  SAR  upon  exercise  of  the related Option or the
     termination of a related Option upon exercise of the  corresponding  Tandem
     SAR),  any  Shares  subject  to such Award again shall be available for the
     grant of an Award under the Plan.   However, in the event that prior to the
     Award's cancellation, termination, expiration, or lapse, the holder of  the
     Award  at any time received one or more "benefits of ownership" pursuant to
     such Award (as defined by  the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant
     to any rule or interpretation promulgated under Section 16 of the  Exchange
     Act),  the  Shares  subject  to  such Award shall not be made available for
     regrant under the Plan.

                                       6
<PAGE>
4.3  ADJUSTMENTS  IN  AUTHORIZED   SHARES.    In   the   event  of  any  merger,
     reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization,  separation,  liquidation,
     stock  dividend,  split-up,  Share  combination,  or  other  change  in the
     corporate structure of the  Company  affecting  the Shares, such adjustment
     shall be made in the number and class of  Shares  which  may  be  delivered
     under  the  Plan,  and  in  the  number and class of and/or price of Shares
     subject to outstanding Awards granted under  the Plan, as may be determined
     to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its  sole  discretion,
     to  prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; and provided that the number
     of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

ARTICLE 5.  ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

5.1  ELIGIBILITY.  Persons eligible  to  participate  in  this  Plan include all
     full-time, active  Employees  of  the  Company  and  its  Subsidiaries,  as
     determined  by  the  Committee,  including Employees who are members of the
     Board, but excluding Directors who are not Employees.

5.2  ACTUAL PARTICIPATION.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee
     may, from time to time, select  from  all eligible Employees, those to whom
     Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount  of  each
     Award.

ARTICLE 6.  STOCK OPTIONS

6.1  GRANT OF OPTIONS.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options
     may  be  granted to Employees at any time and from time to time as shall be
     determined by  the  Committee.   The  Committee  shall  have  discretion in
     determining the number  of  Shares  subject  to  Options  granted  to  each
     Participant,  but  in  no  event  shall the Committee be permitted to grant
     Options to any Participant in  excess  of  500,000 Shares during any fiscal
     year of the Company.  The Committee may grant ISOs, NQSOs, or a combination
     thereof.

6.2  AWARD AGREEMENT.   Each  Option  grant  shall  be  evidenced  by  an  Award
     Agreement  that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of the Option,
     the  number  of  Shares  to  which  the  Option  pertains,  and  such other
     provisions as the Committee shall determine.   The  Option  Agreement  also
     shall  specify  whether  the  Option  is  intended  to be an ISO within the
     meaning of Section 422 of the Code,  or  a NQSO whose grant is intended not
     to fall under the Code provisions of Section 422.

6.3  OPTION PRICE.  The Option Price for  each  grant  of  an  Option  shall  be
     determined  by  the  Committee; provided that the Option Price shall not be
     less than the Fair  Market  Value  of  a  Share  on  the date the Option is
     granted unless such  Option  is  granted  in  connection  with  a  deferral
     election pursuant to Article XI herein.

6.4  DURATION  OF  OPTIONS.   Each  Option  shall  expire  at  such  time as the
     Committee shall determine at the time  of grant; provided, however, that no
     Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of
     its grant.

                                       7
<PAGE>
6.5  EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  Options granted under the Plan shall  be  exercisable
     at  such  times  and  be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the
     Committee shall in each instance  approve,  which  need not be the same for
     each grant or for each Participant.  However, in no event  may  any  Option
     granted  under  this  Plan  become  exercisable  prior  to  six  (6) months
     following the date of its grant.

6.6  PAYMENT.  Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of
     exercise to the Company, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to
     which the Option is to  be  exercised,  accompanied by full payment for the
     Shares.

     The Option Price upon exercise of  any  Option  shall  be  payable  to  the
     Company in full either:  (a) in cash or its equivalent, or (b) by tendering
     previously  acquired  Shares  having  an aggregate Fair Market Value at the
     time of exercise equal to the  total Option Price (provided that the Shares
     which are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least  six
     (6)  months prior to their tender to satisfy the Option Price), or (c) by a
     combination of (a) and (b).

     The Committee also may allow  cashless  exercise as permitted under Federal
     Reserve  Board's  Regulation  T,  subject  to  applicable  securities   law
     restrictions,  or  by  any other means which the Committee determines to be
     consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law.

     As soon as practicable after receipt  of a written notification of exercise
     and full payment, the Company shall deliver  to  the  Participant,  in  the
     Participant's  name, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon
     the number of Shares purchased under the Option(s).

6.7  RESTRICTIONS ON  SHARE  TRANSFERABILITY.   The  Committee  may  impose such
     restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of  an  Option
     under  the  Plan  as  it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
     restrictions  under   applicable   Federal   securities   laws,  under  the
     requirements of any stock exchange or market upon  which  such  Shares  are
     then  listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws
     applicable to such Shares.

6.8  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY, OR RETIREMENT.

     (a)  TERMINATION BY DEATH.  In the event the employment of a Participant is
          terminated by  reason  of  death,  all  outstanding  Options which are
          exercisable as of the date of death shall remain  exercisable  at  any
          time  prior  to  their  expiration date, or for one (1) year after the
          date of death, whichever period is  shorter, by such person or persons
          as shall have been named as the Participant's beneficiary, or by  such
          persons  that  have acquired the Participant's rights under the Option
          by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

          Options which are not exercisable  as  of  the  date of death shall be
          forfeited and returned to the Company;  provided,  however,  that  the
          Committee may, at its sole

                                       8
<PAGE>
          discretion,  provide  for accelerated vesting of unvested Options upon
          such terms as the Committee deems advisable.

     (b)  TERMINATION  BY  DISABILITY.   In  the   event  the  employment  of  a
          Participant is terminated by reason  of  Disability,  all  outstanding
          Options  which are exercisable as of the date the Committee determines
          the definition  of  Disability  to  have  been  satisfied shall remain
          exercisable at any time prior to their expiration date, or for one (1)
          year after the date that the Committee determines  the  definition  of
          Disability to have been satisfied, whichever period is shorter.

          Options  which  are  not  exercisable  as  of  the  date the Committee
          determines the definition of  Disability  to have been satisfied shall
          be forfeited and returned to the Company; provided, however, that  the
          Committee may, at its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting
          of unvested Options upon such terms as the Committee deems advisable.

     (c)  TERMINATION   BY  RETIREMENT.   In  the  event  the  employment  of  a
          Participant is terminated  by  reason  of  Retirement, all outstanding
          Options which are exercisable as  of  the  date  of  Retirement  shall
          remain  exercisable at any time prior to their expiration date, or for
          three (3) years  after  the  effective  date  of Retirement, whichever
          period is shorter.  Options which are not exercisable as of  the  date
          of  Retirement shall be forfeited and return to the Company; provided,
          however, that the Committee may,  at  its sole discretion, provide for
          accelerated vesting  of  unvested  Options  upon  such  terms  as  the
          Committee deems advisable.

     (d)  EMPLOYMENT  TERMINATION  FOLLOWED  BY  DEATH.   In  the  event  that a
          Participant's  employment  terminates  by   reason  of  Disability  or
          Retirement, and within the exercise period following such  termination
          the  Participant  dies,  then  the  remaining  exercise  period  under
          outstanding  vested Options shall equal the longer of (i) one (1) year
          following death; or (ii) the  remaining portion of the exercise period
          which was triggered by the employment termination.  Such Options shall
          be exercisable by such person or persons who shall have been named  as
          the  Participant's  beneficiary,  or by such persons who have acquired
          the Participant's rights under the  Option  by  will or by the laws of
          descent and distribution.

     (e)  EXERCISE LIMITATIONS ON ISOS.  In the case of ISOs, the tax  treatment
          prescribed  under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
          amended, may not be available if  the Options are not exercised within
          the Section 422 prescribed time periods  after  each  of  the  various
          types of employment termination.

6.9  TERMINATION  OF  EMPLOYMENT  FOR  OTHER  REASONS.   If  the employment of a
     Participant shall terminate for any reason other than the reasons set forth
     in Section  6.8  (and  other  than  for  Cause),  all  Options  held by the
     Participant which are not vested as of the  effective  date  of  employment
     termination  immediately  shall be forfeited to the Company (and shall once
     again become available for grant  under the Plan).  However, the Committee,
     in its

                                       9
<PAGE>
     sole discretion, shall have the  right  to  immediately  vest  all  or  any
     portion  of  such  Options,  subject to such terms as the Committee, in its
     sole discretion, deems appropriate.

     Options which are vested as of the effective date of employment termination
     may be exercised by  the  Participant  within  the  period beginning on the
     effective date of employment termination, and ending three (3) months after
     such date.

     If the employment of a Participant shall be terminated by the  Company  for
     Cause, all outstanding Options held by the Participant immediately shall be
     forfeited  to  the  Company  and  no  additional  exercise  period shall be
     allowed, regardless of the vested status of the Options.

6.10 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  No  Option  granted  under  the Plan may be
     sold,  transferred,  pledged,   assigned,   or   otherwise   alienated   or
     hypothecated,   other   than  by  will  or  by  the  laws  of  descent  and
     distribution.  Further, all Options granted to a Participant under the Plan
     shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

ARTICLE 7.  STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

7.1  GRANT OF SARS.  Subject to the terms  and conditions of the Plan, a SAR may
     be granted to an Employee at any time and from time to  time  as  shall  be
     determined  by  the  Committee.   The  Committee may grant Affiliated SARs,
     Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination of these forms of SARs.

     The Committee shall have complete  discretion  in determining the number of
     SARs granted to  each  Participant  (subject  to  Article  4  herein)  and,
     consistent  with  the  provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and
     conditions  pertaining  to  such  SARs.  However,  the  grant  price  of  a
     Freestanding SAR shall be at  least  equal  to  the  Fair Market Value of a
     Share on the date of grant of the SAR.  The grant price of Tandem SARs  and
     Affiliated  SARs shall equal the Option Price of the related Option.  In no
     event shall any SAR granted  hereunder  become exercisable within the first
     six (6) months of its grant.

7.2  EXERCISE OF TANDEM SARS.  Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or  part  of
     the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to
     exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option.  A Tandem SAR may be
     exercised  only  with respect to the Shares for which its related Option is
     then exercisable.

     Notwithstanding any other  provision  of  this  Plan  to the contrary, with
     respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO:  (i) the  Tandem
     SAR  will  expire  no later than the expiration of the underlying ISO; (ii)
     the value of the payout with respect  to  the Tandem SAR may be for no more
     than one hundred percent (100%) of the difference between the Option  Price
     of  the  underlying  ISO and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to
     the underlying ISO at the time  the  Tandem SAR is exercised; and (iii) the
     Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of  the  Shares
     subject to the ISO exceeds the Option Price of the ISO.

                                       10
<PAGE>
7.3  EXERCISE  OF  AFFILIATED  SARS.   Affiliated  SARs  shall  be  deemed to be
     exercised upon the exercise of the related Options.  The deemed exercise of
     Affiliated SARs shall not necessitate a  reduction in the number of related
     options.

7.4  EXERCISE OF FREESTANDING SARS.  Freestanding SARs  may  be  exercised  upon
     whatever  terms  and  conditions  the  Committee,  in  its sole discretion,
     imposes upon them.

7.5  SAR AGREEMENT.  Each SAR  grant  shall  be  evidenced by an Award Agreement
     that shall specify the grant price, the term of the  SAR,  and  such  other
     provisions as the Committee shall determine.

7.6  TERM OF SARS.  The term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined
     by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such term
     shall not exceed ten (10) years.

7.7  PAYMENT  OF  SAR  AMOUNT.   Upon  exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be
     entitled to receive payment  from  the  Company  in an amount determined by
     multiplying:

     (a)  The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
          exercise over the grant price; by

     (b)  The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

     At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in
     cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

7.8  RULE 16B-3 REQUIREMENTS.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the  Plan,
     the  Committee  may impose such conditions on exercise of a SAR (including,
     without limitation,  the  right  of  the  Committee  to  limit  the time of
     exercise  to  specified  periods)  as  may  be  required  to  satisfy   the
     requirements of Section 16 (or any successor rule) of the Exchange Act.

     For  example,  if  the  Participant  is  an  Insider,  the  ability  of the
     Participant to exercise SARs for  cash  will  be limited to Window Periods.
     However, if the  Committee  determines  that  the  Participant  is  not  an
     Insider,  or  if  the  securities  laws change to permit greater freedom of
     exercise of SARs, then the  Committee  may  permit exercise at any point in
     time, to the extent the SARs are otherwise exercisable under the Plan.

7.9  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY, OR RETIREMENT.

     (a)  TERMINATION BY DEATH.  In the event the employment of a Participant is
          terminated  by  reason  of  death,  all  outstanding  SARs  which  are
          exercisable as of the date of death shall remain  exercisable  at  any
          time  prior  to  their  expiration date, or for one (1) year after the
          date of death, whichever period is  shorter, by such person or persons
          as shall have been named as the Participant's beneficiary, or by  such

                                       11
<PAGE>
          persons  that  have acquired the Participant's rights under the SAR by
          will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

          SARs which are  not  exercisable  as  of  the  date  of death shall be
          forfeited and returned to the Company;  provided,  however,  that  the
          Committee may, at its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting
          of unvested SARs upon such terms as the Committee deems advisable.

     (b)  TERMINATION   BY  DISABILITY.   In  the  event  the  employment  of  a
          Participant is terminated  by  reason  of  Disability, all outstanding
          SARs which are exercisable as of the date the Committee determines the
          definition  of  Disability  to  have  been  satisfied   shall   remain
          exercisable at any time prior to their expiration date, or for one (1)
          year  after  the  date that the Committee determines the definition of
          Disability to have been satisfied, whichever period is shorter.

          SARs which are not exercisable as of the date the Committee determines
          the definition of Disability to have been satisfied shall be forfeited
          and returned to  the  Company;  provided,  however, that the Committee
          may, at its  sole  discretion,  provide  for  accelerated  vesting  of
          unvested SARs upon such terms as the Committee deems advisable.

     (c)  TERMINATION   BY   RETIREMENT.  In  the  event  the  employment  of  a
          Participant is terminated  by  reason  of  Retirement, all outstanding
          SARs which are exercisable as of the date of Retirement  shall  remain
          exercisable  at  any time prior to their expiration date, or for three
          (3) years after the effective  date of Retirement, whichever period is
          shorter.

          SARs which are not exercisable as of the date of Retirement  shall  be
          forfeited  and  returned  to  the Company; provided, however, that the
          Committee may, at its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting
          of unvested SARs upon such terms as the Committee deems advisable.

     (d)  EMPLOYMENT  TERMINATION  FOLLOWED  BY  DEATH.   In  the  event  that a
          Participant's  employment  terminates  by  reason  of  Disability   or
          Retirement,  and within the exercise period following such termination
          the  Participant  dies,  then  the  remaining  exercise  period  under
          outstanding vested SARs shall equal  the  longer of:  (i) one (1) year
          following death; or (ii) the remaining portion of the exercise  period
          which was triggered by the employment termination.  Such SARs shall be
          exercisable by such person or persons who shall have been named as the
          Participant's  beneficiary,  or  by such persons who have acquired the
          Participant's rights under the SAR by  will  or by the laws of descent
          and distribution.

7.10 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR  OTHER  REASONS.   If  the  employment  of  a
     Participant shall terminate for any reason other than the reasons set forth
     in Section 7.9 (and other than for Cause), all SARs held by the Participant
     which are not vested as of the effective

                                       12
<PAGE>
     date  of  employment  termination  immediately  shall  be  forfeited to the
     Company (and shall once again  become  available for grant under the Plan).
     However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall  have  the  right  to
     immediately  vest all or any portion of such SARs, subject to such terms as
     the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

     SARs which are vested as  of  the  effective date of employment termination
     may be exercised by the Participant within  the  period  beginning  on  the
     effective date of employment termination, and ending three (3) months after
     such date.

     If  the  employment of a Participant shall be terminated by the Company for
     Cause, all outstanding SARs  held  by  the Participant immediately shall be
     forfeited to the  Company  and  no  additional  exercise  period  shall  be
     allowed, regardless of the vested status of the SARs.

7.11 NONTRANSFERABILITY  OF  SARS.   No SAR  granted under the Plan may be sold,
     transferred, pledged,  assigned,  or  otherwise  alienated or hypothecated,
     other than by will or by the laws of descent  and  distribution.   Further,
     all  SARs  granted  to  a  Participant  under the Plan shall be exercisable
     during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

ARTICLE 8. RESTRICTED STOCK

8.1  GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK.   Subject  to  the  terms  and provisions of the
     Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of
     Restricted Stock to eligible Employees in such  amounts  as  the  Committee
     shall  determine,  but  in  no  event  shall  the total number of Shares of
     Restricted Stock  available  for  grant  by  the  Committee  exceed 750,000
     Shares.

8.2  RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT.  Each Restricted Stock grant shall be evidenced
     by  a  Restricted  Stock  Agreement  that  shall  specify  the  Period   of
     Restriction, or Periods, the number of Restricted Stock Shares granted, and
     such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

8.3  TRANSFERABILITY.   Except  as  provided  in  this  Article 8, the Shares of
     Restricted Stock granted  herein  may  not  be  sold, transferred, pledged,
     assigned, or otherwise alienated or  hypothecated  until  the  end  of  the
     applicable Period of Restriction established by the Committee and specified
     in  the  Restricted  Stock  Agreement,  or upon earlier satisfaction of any
     other conditions, as specified by the  Committee in its sole discretion and
     set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement.  However, in no event may  any
     Restricted  Stock  granted  under  the  Plan become vested in a Participant
     prior to six (6) months following  the  date of its grant.  All rights with
     respect to the Restricted Stock granted to a  Participant  under  the  Plan
     shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant.

8.4  OTHER  RESTRICTIONS.   The  Committee  shall  impose  such other conditions
     and/or restrictions on any Shares  of  Restricted Stock granted pursuant to
     the Plan  as  it  may  deem  advisable  including,  without  limitation,  a
     requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase

                                       13
<PAGE>
     price  for  each  Share  of  Restricted  Stock, restrictions based upon the
     achievement of specific performance  goals (Companywide, divisional, and/or
     individual),  and/or  restrictions  under  applicable  Federal   or   state
     securities  laws;  and  may legend the certificates representing Restricted
     Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.

8.5  CERTIFICATE LEGEND.  In  addition  to  any  legends  placed on certificates
     pursuant to Section 8.4 herein, each  certificate  representing  Shares  of
     Restricted  Stock  granted  pursuant  to  the  Plan  may bear the following
     legend:

          "The sale or  other  transfer  of  the  Shares of stock
          represented by  this  certificate,  whether  voluntary,
          involuntary,  or  by  operation  of  law, is subject to
          certain restrictions on  transfer  as  set forth in the
          Tesoro  Petroleum   Corporation   Executive   Long-Term
          Incentive Plan, and in a Restricted Stock Agreement.  A
          copy  of  the  Plan and such Restricted Stock Agreement
          may be obtained from Tesoro Petroleum Corporation."

     The Company shall have  the  right  to retain the certificates representing
     Shares of Restricted Stock in the Company's possession until such  time  as
     all  conditions  and/or  restrictions  applicable  to such Shares have been
     satisfied.

8.6  REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS.  Except as  otherwise  provided in this Article 8,
     Shares of Restricted Stock covered by  each  Restricted  Stock  grant  made
     under  the  Plan  shall become freely transferable by the Participant after
     the last day of the  Period  of  Restriction.  Once the Shares are released
     from the restrictions, the Participant shall be entitled to have the legend
     required by Section 8.5 removed from his or her share certificate.

8.7  VOTING RIGHTS.  During the  Period  of  Restriction,  Participants  holding
     Shares  of  Restricted  Stock  granted  hereunder  may exercise full voting
     rights with respect to those Shares.

8.8  DIVIDENDS AND  OTHER  DISTRIBUTIONS.   During  the  Period  of Restriction,
     Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall  be
     entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect
     to  those  Shares  while  they  are  so  held.   If  any  such dividends or
     distributions are paid in Shares, the  Shares  shall be subject to the same
     restrictions  on  transferability  and  forfeitability  as  the  Shares  of
     Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

     In the event that any dividend constitutes a "derivative  security"  or  an
     "equity  security"  pursuant  to  Rule  16(a)  under the Exchange Act, such
     dividend shall be subject to a vesting  period equal to the longer of:  (i)
     the remaining vesting period of the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect
     to which the dividend is paid; or (ii) six  months.   The  Committee  shall
     establish procedures for the application of this provision.

8.9  TERMINATION  OF EMPLOYMENT DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY, OR RETIREMENT.  In the
     event the employment of  a  Participant  is  terminated by reason of death,
     Disability, or Retirement,

                                       14
<PAGE>
     all unvested Shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately be  forfeited  by
     the  Participant;  provided,  however,  that  the  Committee,  in  its sole
     discretion, shall have the right to provide for accelerated vesting of some
     or all  unvested  Shares  of  Restricted  Stock,  upon  such  terms  as the
     Committee deems advisable.  The holder of the  certificates  of  Restricted
     Stock  shall  be  entitled  to have any nontransferability legends required
     under  Sections  8.4  and  8.5   of   this  Plan  removed  from  the  Share
     certificates.

8.10 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR  OTHER  REASONS.   If  the  employment  of  a
     Participant  shall  terminate  for any reason other than those specifically
     set forth in Section 8.9 herein, all Shares of Restricted Stock held by the
     Participant which are not  vested  as  of  the effective date of employment
     termination immediately shall be forfeited (and,  subject  to  Section  4.2
     herein, shall once again become available for grant under the Plan).

     With the exception of a termination of employment for Cause, the Committee,
     in  its sole discretion, shall have the right to provide for lapsing of the
     restrictions on  Restricted  Stock  following  employment termination, upon
     such terms and provisions as it deems appropriate.

ARTICLE 9.  PERFORMANCE UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

9.1  GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS/SHARES.  Subject  to  the  terms  of  the  Plan,
     Performance  Units  and  Performance  Shares  may  be  granted  to eligible
     Employees at any time and from time  to time, as shall be determined by the
     Committee.  The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the
     number  of  Performance  Units  and  Performance  Shares  granted  to  each
     Participant.

9.2  VALUE OF PERFORMANCE UNITS/SHARES.  Each Performance  Unit  shall  have  an
     initial  value  that  is established by the Committee at the time of grant.
     Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market
     Value of a Share on the date of grant.  The Committee shall set performance
     goals in its discretion which,  depending  on  the extent to which they are
     met, will determine the number and/or  value  of  Performance  Units/Shares
     that  will  be  paid out to the Participants.  The time period during which
     the performance goals must be  met  shall be called a "Performance Period."
     Performance Periods shall, in all cases, exceed six (6) months in length.

9.3  EARNING OF PERFORMANCE  UNITS/SHARES.   After  the  applicable  Performance
     Period  has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares shall be entitled
     to receive payout on the  number  of Performance Units/Shares earned by the
     Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function  of
     the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved.

9.4  FORM  AND  TIMING  OF PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS/SHARES.  Payment of each
     Performance Units/Shares  shall  be  made  in  a  single  lump  sum, within
     forty-five (45)  calendar  days  following  the  close  of  the  applicable
     Performance  Period.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned
     Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash or in

                                       15
<PAGE>
     Shares (or in a combination  thereof),  which have an aggregate Fair Market
     Value equal to the value of the  earned  Performance  Units/Shares  at  the
     close of the applicable Performance Period.

     Prior  to  the beginning of each Performance Period, Participants may elect
     to defer the receipt of  Performance  Unit/Share  payout upon such terms as
     the Committee deems appropriate.

9.5  TERMINATION  OF  EMPLOYMENT  DUE   TO  DEATH,  DISABILITY,  RETIREMENT,  OR
     INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION (WITHOUT CAUSE).  In the event the employment of  a
     Participant  is  terminated  by reason of death, Disability, Retirement, or
     involuntary termination  without  Cause  during  a  Performance Period, the
     Participant  shall  receive  a   prorated   payout   of   the   Performance
     Units/Shares.  The prorated payout shall be determined by the Committee, in
     its  sole  discretion,  and shall be based upon the length of time that the
     Participant  held  the  Performance  Units/Shares  during  the  Performance
     Period, and shall  further  be  adjusted  based  on  the achievement of the
     preestablished performance goals.

     Payment  of  earned Performance Units/Shares shall be made at the same time
     payments are made to Participants  who  did not terminate employment during
     the applicable Performance Period.  However, the  Committee,  in  its  sole
     discretion,  shall  have the right to accelerate the timing of this payout,
     upon such terms and provisions as it deems appropriate.

9.6  TERMINATION  OF  EMPLOYMENT  FOR  OTHER  REASONS.   In  the  event  that  a
     Participant's employment terminates for any reason other than those reasons
     set forth in  Section  9.5  herein,  all  Performance Units/Shares shall be
     forfeited by the Participant to  the  Company,  and  shall  once  again  be
     available  for  grant  under the Plan.  However, the Committee, in its sole
     discretion, may provide a  payout  on  any or all Performance Units/Shares,
     upon such times and provisions as it deems appropriate.

9.7  NONTRANSFERABILITY.  Performance Units/Shares may not be sold, transferred,
     pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated,  other  than  by
     will  or  by the laws of descent and distribution.  Further a Participant's
     rights  under  the  Plan  shall  be  exercisable  during  the Participant's
     lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant's legal representative.

ARTICLE 10.  BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary  or
beneficiaries  (who  may  be  named  contingently  or  successively) to whom any
benefit under the Plan is to be paid  in  case  of his or her death before he or
she receives any or all of such benefit.  Each such designation shall revoke all
prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the
Company, and will be effective only when filed by  the  Participant  in  writing
with  the Company during the Participant's lifetime.  In the absence of any such
designation, benefits remaining unpaid at  the Participant's death shall be paid
to the Participant's estate.

                                       16
<PAGE>
ARTICLE 11.  DEFERRALS

The Committee may permit a Participant to defer such  Participant's  receipt  of
the  payment  of  cash  or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to
such Participant by virtue of the  exercise  of  an  Option or SAR, the lapse or
waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock, or the satisfaction  of
any requirements or goals with respect to Performance Units/Shares.  If any such
deferral  election  is  required  or permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole
discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals.

ARTICLE 12.  RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES

12.1 EMPLOYMENT.  Nothing in the Plan  shall  interfere with or limit in any way
     the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment  at  any
     time,  nor  confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ
     of the Company.

     For purposes of the Plan,  transfer  of employment of a Participant between
     the Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between Subsidiaries) shall
     not be deemed a termination of employment.

12.2 PARTICIPATION.  No Employee shall have the right to be selected to  receive
     an  Award  under  this  Plan, or having been so selected, to be selected to
     receive a future Award.

ARTICLE 13.  CHANGE IN CONTROL

Upon the  occurrence  of  a  Change  in  Control,  unless otherwise specifically
prohibited by the terms of Section 18 herein:

(a)  Any and all Options and SARs granted  hereunder  shall  become  immediately
     exercisable;

(b)  Any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on Restricted Shares shall
     lapse,  and  within ten (10) business days after the occurrence of a Change
     in Control, the stock certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock,
     without any restrictions  or  legend  thereon,  shall  be  delivered to the
     applicable Participants;

(c)  The target payout opportunity attainable under all outstanding  Performance
     Units  and  Performance  Shares shall be deemed to have been earned for the
     portion of the Performance Period(s)  that  passed as of the effective date
     of the Change in Control.  This pro rata value shall be paid out in cash to
     Participants within thirty (30) days following the effective  date  of  the
     Change  in Control.  However, regardless of the above, Performance Units or
     Performance Shares that were granted less  than six (6) months prior to the
     effective date of the  Change  in  Control  shall  be  forfeited  in  their
     entirety, and receive no accelerated payout.

                                       17
<PAGE>
(d)  Subject  to  Article  14  herein, the Committee shall have the authority to
     make any modifications to the Awards  as  determined by the Committee to be
     appropriate before the effective date of the Change in Control.

(e)  In the event that following the Change in Control the Shares are no  longer
     traded  over  a  national  public securities exchange, Participants holding
     Options shall have the right to require  the Company to make a cash payment
     to them in  exchange  for  their  Options.   Such  cash  payment  shall  be
     contingent  upon  the  Option  holder  surrendering his or her Option.  The
     amount of the cash payment shall be determined by adding the total "spread"
     on all outstanding Options.   For  this  purpose,  the total "spread" shall
     equal the sum of the differences between:  (i) the Fair Market Value  of  a
     Share  on  the  date the Option is surrendered by the Participant; and (ii)
     the Option Price applicable to each Share held under Option.

ARTICLE 14.  AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

14.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION.   At  any  time  and from time to
     time, the Board may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan.  However, without
     the approval of the stockholders of the Company (as may be required by  the
     Code,  by  the  insider trading rules of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, by
     any national securities exchange  or  system  on  which the Shares are then
     listed or reported, or  by  a  regulatory  body  having  jurisdiction  with
     respect hereto), no such termination, amendment, or modification may:

     (a)  Materially  increase  the  total  number of Shares which may be issued
          under this Plan, except as provided in Section 4.3 herein; or

     (b)  Materially modify the eligibility requirements; or

     (c)  Materially increase the benefits accruing under the Plan.

14.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED.   No  termination, amendment, or modification of
     the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way  any  Award  previously
     granted  under  the  Plan,  without  the written consent of the Participant
     holding such Award.

ARTICLE 15.  WITHHOLDING

15.1 TAX WITHHOLDING.  The Company shall have  the power and the right to deduct
     or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the  Company,  an  amount
     sufficient  to  satisfy  Federal,  state,  and  local  taxes (including the
     Participant's FICA obligation) required by  law to be withheld with respect
     to any taxable event arising or as a result of this Plan.

15.2 SHARE WITHHOLDING.  With respect to withholding required upon the  exercise
     of  Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, or
     upon any other taxable event  hereunder, Participants may elect, subject to
     the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding  requirement,  in
     whole or in part, by having the Company withhold

                                       18
<PAGE>
     Shares  having  a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined
     equal to the minimum  statutory  total  tax  which  could be imposed on the
     transaction.  All elections shall be irrevocable, made in  writing,  signed
     by  the  Participant,  and  elections by Insiders shall additionally comply
     with the applicable requirement set  forth  in  (a)  or (b) of this Section
     15.2.

     (a)  AWARDS HAVING EXERCISE TIMING WITHIN  PARTICIPANTS'  DISCRETION.   The
          Insider must either:

          (i)  Deliver  written  notice of the stock withholding election to the
               Committee at least six (6) months  prior to the date specified by
               the Insider on which the exercise of the Award is to occur, or

          (ii) Make  the  stock  withholding  election  in  connection  with  an
               exercise of an Award which occurs during a Window Period.

     (b)  AWARDS HAVING  A  FIXED  EXERCISE/PAYOUT  SCHEDULE  WHICH  IS  OUTSIDE
          INSIDER'S CONTROL.  The Insider must either.

          (i)  Deliver  written  notice of the stock withholding election to the
               Committee at least six (6) months  prior to the date on which the
               taxable event (e.g., exercise or payout) relating to the Award is
               scheduled to occur; or

          (ii) Make the stock withholding election during a Window Period  which
               occurs prior to the scheduled taxable event relating to the Award
               (for this purpose, an election may be made prior to such a Window
               Period, provided that it becomes effective during a Window Period
               occurring prior to the applicable taxable event).

ARTICLE 16.  INDEMNIFICATION

Each  person  who  is  or  shall  have been a member of the Committee, or of the
Board, shall be indemnified and  held  harmless  by the Company against and from
any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be  imposed  upon  or  reasonably
incurred  by  him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action,
suit, or proceeding to which he or she may  be a party or in which he or she may
be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the  Plan  and
against  and  from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof,
with the Company's approval,  or  paid  by  him  or  her  in satisfaction of any
judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he
or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle  and
defend  the  same  before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or
her own behalf.

The foregoing right  of  indemnification  shall  not  be  exclusive of any other
rights of indemnification to which  such  persons  may  be  entitled  under  the
Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws,

                                       19
<PAGE>
as  a  matter  of  law,  or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to
indemnify them or hold them harmless.

ARTICLE 17.  SUCCESSORS

All obligations of the Company  under  the  Plan, with respect to Awards granted
hereunder, shall be binding  on  any  successor  to  the  Company,  whether  the
existence  of  such  successor  is  the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company.

ARTICLE 18.  LEGAL CONSTRUCTION

18.1 GENDER AND NUMBER.  Except  where  otherwise  indicated  by the context any
     masculine term used herein also shall  include  the  feminine;  the  plural
     shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

18.2 SEVERABILITY.  In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal
     or  invalid  for  any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
     the remaining parts  of  the  Plan,  and  the  Plan  shall be construed and
     enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

18.3 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.  The granting of Awards and  the  issuance  of  Shares
     under  the  Plan  shall  be  subject  to  all  applicable  laws, rules, and
     regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
     securities exchanges as may be required.

     Notwithstanding any other provision set  forth  in the Plan, if required by
     the then-current Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any "derivative  security"
     or "equity security" offered pursuant to the Plan to any Insider may not be
     sold  or transferred for at least six (6) months after the date of grant of
     such Award.  The terms  "equity  security"  and "derivative security" shall
     have the meanings ascribed to them in the then-current Rule 16(a) under the
     Exchange Act.

18.4 SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  With respect to  Insiders,  transactions  under
     this  Plan  are  intended  to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule
     16b-3 or its successors under the 1934  Act. To the extent any provision of
     the plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be  deemed
     null  and  void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the
     Committee.

18.5 GOVERNING LAW.  To the extent not  preempted  by Federal law, the Plan, and
     all agreements  hereunder,  shall  be  construed  in  accordance  with  and
     governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
